HI
I have a question to see if any others with young ones have noticed strange moods or hyperness. MY daughter is just 3 and was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. She is on lantus in the am and humalog for each meal. We eat dinner about 5:30 or 6 and then by 8 we check her bs (usually 80-120) so she gets a snack to take her through the night, bed around 8:30 or 9. Lately at night she is very hyper going to bed, sometimes not "good" hyper she will thrash about kicking and crying in her bed. And then eventually afer getting upset enough go to sleep.
I realize this could be just her being a toddler and also the fact that she has gone through so much lately. But I wonder if it is the insulin (although) the humalog should be leaving her by then. Perhaps we need to change her night snack, it is usually teddy grahams and milk. Are the teddy g's too sugary?? Often it is the only thing she wants to eat and she needs something.
She has a twin brother (bless his soul, this whole thing is very hard and confusing for him) with whom she shares a room.
Has anyone experienced this or does anyone have advice.
My endo nurse tells me she thinks she probably just feels good and has energy after her snack and that "technically" the insulin shouldn't affect her moods. But she has heard this complaint/concern from other moms. She said it seems to subside because she doesn't hear it continually.
Thanks for any help.
