Juvenile Diabetes

You aren't doing anything wrong! This is the nature of the disease, its so very hard to get everything right. What does he have for breakfast? for most, breakfast is the HARDEST meal, the spike it glucose is usually very high.  Its also hard to time. If you give him enough to keep the spike from getting to high, they go low by snack/lunch.  Try not to change to much at once, it gets hard to see what works and what doesn't.. the running around along with the changes are what caused him to go low. So days that he's had more exercise he'll need less insulin, but that is really hard to predict. This is what drives me bonkers because even if you do the same thing every day you'llget different results. Once you get on the pump and get his basals set I think things will become easier..

Just remember, you are not doing ANYTHING wrong. you are doing a GREAT job! :)

That is one advantage to the pump--you can lower the basal insulin....with shots you can't turn off the lantus!!
