Type 1 Diabetics ... what is a normal blood sugar right after eating?

my daughter is 13 and type 1 since she was 5 (so I know) to give you an example...it depends on the insulin she is on...my daughter is on novarapid and she has to test 3 hours after she eats because that is how long it acts for. She has done her reading 30 mins etc after she eats and it is high...the insulin hasn't had a chance to do the job. Your daughter is probably on humalog? If you daughter is just recently diagnosed then please just make sure you keep really good records, give it the two hours and if it is happening (hypos)after the same meal every day then that insulin needs to be cut back (after you speak to your nurse/doctor) Diabetes is a big deal, you have every right to ring the doctors surgery. I will tell you Mother to Mother, do whatever you can, find out as much as you can and do the best you can because it is a big burden to bear and a huge worry, all the time. I still sometimes go into my daughters room at 2am to do a fingerprick if she has been at the pool or something because I know they can just plummet so quick. When your daughter is a bit older, look into the insulin pump, it is better control, no more needles, frees up their meals and what they can eat. Gives them a lot more freedom :) Send me an email (on my profile) if you want to chat
