I learned from these lists. They tell them that sugars up to 200 are OK and they are not. Why shouldn't a diabetic's sugar run as close to normal as a non diabetic? I am assuming then that doctors have a whole different theory on type 1 and type 2. Our Diabetes nurse and the child endo agreed that our target for Donnie is 100-150 at all checks and 150-180 at bedtime check. If he goes over those at all we have to call in to re-evaluate his insulin vs carbs. He has been well within those numbers so we have good control with a average of about 110-115. :-D hugs Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type ones have more of a tendency to get lows, esepecialy at night. I have been told to be 120 -150 at betime. I do and there are still mronings I wake up at 65 ! The biggest difference being type ones dont make insulin but we still use insulin well. Where as a lot of type two's are insulin resistant meaning they dont utilize insulin well enough. children with DIABETES - What is Type 1 Diabetes?

I was told 4-5 blocks of 15 carbs so that would actually be 60-75! WOW I dont think I eat quiet that many a meal! Ive been doing more like 50. Its too late in the day for me to do math!!
