Hello,
My 3-1/2 yr old son was recently hospitalized because of vomiting due to a gastrointestinal virus of some kind. He's ok now and at home and past all the virus symptoms. We've been slowly increasing his insulin dosages while his body gets used to properly digesting food, but, now that we're back to normal insulin dosages, he's still exhibiting very high levels after breakfast and into lunch (approx 24-27 mmol/L or 430-480 mg/dL). The rest of the day, he's well within range (4-10 mmol/L or 70-180 mg/dL). Before getting sick, his bg levels were pretty well balanced and in range all the time, but now we're still getting this peak in the morning. He's in excellent spirits and not uncomfortable, so we don't think he's producing excess ketones (we're checking thoughout the day). Our diabetes team is aware of the situation and suggesting we wait a couple more days before trying to modify anything, like changing the injection regimen, etc. Right now he's on NPH (intermediate) & Novorapid (rapid).
Has anyone had a similar experience and/or suggestions?
Thanks,
Tony
