If you’re a caregiver of a child living with type 1, how often do you wake your child up in the middle of the night when they need a correction dose?

I don’t have a child with T1 but do have 2 grandsons with it. They both got it in their teens. When they’d spend the night, I did go in and check on them. It was also before any of us were wearing CGMs.
We use the omnipod 5 for our 5 year old granddaughter. No need to wake her, just execute the dose on the phone.
Even if she is low, we just put a spoonfuls of jam in her cheek.
Using DIY AID, with good settings so the system is constantly varying insulin delivery to maintain BG in range. Very rarely manual intervention may be required (eg erratic sensor readings leading to need for finger prick confirmation) or pod failure/leakage requiring replacement.
