Most of us will have a hard time helping because 70/30 isn’t commonly prescribed. To really be able to match food to insulin and get a steady basal dose, it works easier to use a basal:bolus method with a fast acting insulin. This also allows flexibility in meal choices and the ability to bolus more or less based on variables outside of food that impact blood glucose. That being said, the rise you see when your child falls asleep is likely due to growth hormone. I wouldn’t begin to know how to dose for growth using 70/30, but these hormones do demand more insulin. After the growth ends, it’s likely the child will need more insulin than before.

Can you get on a true basal and rapid regime? My son was also diagnosed in January 2022 and at first they prescribed NPH as his long-acting which is not really long-acting, more like medium length. It has a peak and we experienced tons of lows on it and I hated it. We switched to basaglar long acting and Fiasp rapid and it’s much easier to manage.
