My daughter is a type 1 diabetic.
I put her to bed at 9:00 pm and hr blood sugar was 186, straight per bg pole and cgm.
I gave her 0.
5 u of insulin, which should drop her down to around 160 as her insulin sensitivity factor is 1:50.
At 11 pm, i heard her pump alarming and it was suspended on low and had been suspended on low since 10pm.
Her blood sugar was 35.
I gave her a juice box which brought her up to around 60.
I continued to have to give her a juice box ever 2 hours until around 6am when her blood sugars stabilized.
There was no explainable reason for why her blood sugars dropped so low or continued to remain so low.
A week later, i received a recall notice that medtronics was recalling infusion sets for over-delivery of insulin after a site change.
The event of this event, i had just given my daughter a site change and confirmed that her infusion set used was part of the recall.
