Six year old with ketotic hypoglycemia gets gastro virus - lived experience

In this video I share issues that parents and children experience while living with ketotic hypoglycemia. I was surprised as a parent that I could not find youtube videos from other parents or children to guide me about what to expect, things to look for, troubleshooting, or tips to get through viral episodes. So I made this video to help others who are facing similar such situations. My six year old boy has had a diagnosis of ketotic hypoglycaemia for about four years. I made this video last night and this morning while he was managing a gastro virus. He is recovering now.

Parents - please let me know in the comments if this video is helpful or not. thanks.
Clinicians - please comment on anything you feel needs explanation, if I've said anything that goes against recommended guidelines or worries you (e.g. young children may have a lower threshold for presenting at hospital for fluids).
Thanks all.
