[QUOTE="ConejitoAzul, post: 1431193, member: 393064"] Hi [USER=392586]@Sophia's_Daddy[/USER] We were in a similar situation to you late last year and have come a long way with the management of our child's T1D in that short space of time. Whilst it is not what any parent wants for their child, T1D is manageable! It is how you manage it that will make all the difference in Sophia's life. You will very likely be told to manage her Diabetes through a normal diet and insulin injections to cover the carbohydrate intake. We followed that advice blindly for a month, but have since moved to Dr. Bernstein's approach of a Low Carbohydrate High Fat diet (high Protein for growing children) as mentioned by [USER=392813]@Sandra_Azucar[/USER]. The benefit of starting this method of management now is that Sophia won't miss carbohydrates. The following is real data from our child's Blood Glucose Monitor and evidence for the LCHF/P way forward. Our child is still in the honeymoon period where the pancreas has some function left, but will ultimately need to move back to insulin when this period ends. If we can get anywhere near the 3 year honeymoon the kid in the article I linked below had, we will be very happy. For reference, the charts below show a 24 hour period and each dot is a BGL reading, with the red ones representing lows. The line shows the average reading at the time of day and the grey box is the target range. Normal Carbohydrate Diet and Insulin (1 month after diagnosis). [IMG]http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o161/killperry/Untitled1_zps32084c7e.png[/IMG] Low Carbohydrate High Fat/Protein Diet, No Insulin (4 months after diagnosis).
