A few days ago, my six year old daughter passed out, and when she went to the doctor her blood sugar was 70 mg/dl [3.9 mmol/L]. She has had similar problems in the past, but never totally passed out, and we never were able to pinpoint the problem. Her doctor thinks that her sugar level is dropping and wants us to control this with diet. I need help with a meal plan.

I thought that is was important for a child with diabetes to have a small snack with some protein at night. Do you think it’s right that a growing boy should not have a snack at night before bed?
