I think your tips worked

[Mom2Deacon]

Thank you everyone for some more tips on night time lows. I have been giving Deacon his Lantus in the butt and he has had numbers of 75,75, 57, 88 and 108 the past 5 days. The 57 I know how it happened. I was giving him the shot with my husband holding him upright and Hawke was laughing while I was giving him the shot. So I think the shot went deeper than I had intended. Hawke did get a nice lecture and I told DH that we are lying Deacon down on our bed for the butt shot from now on no matter what. Also, the numbers throughout the day have been level too.

BTW, Deacon loves ice cream for his bedtime snack too.

So thank you everyone for giving me those tips. Hopefully this will stay for a while. These numbers for the past 5 days have been better than what I had been seeing.

How old is your son? For us those number would still be a little low. Her endo would like her above 100 at night.

I agree, I'm gald the numbers are way better, but, I would lower the Lantus another unit rather than stay in the 70's over night;)

Either that, or lower the fastacting at dinner. You can tell whick insulin to lower bt testing 3 hours after dinner. If he's already in the 70's then lower the fastacting at dinner. On the other hand, if he's say 140 then drops to the 70's lower the Lantus. I hope this helps:D
