[QUOTE="azure, post: 1431257, member: 39639"] [USER=393064]@ConejitoAzul[/USER] That isn't necessary to,get good control and I've yet to see any evidence that LCHF is safe longterm for young children. There's a reason why it's not recommended by paediatric DSNs and its not because they're silly or blind or malicious or there's some dresdful conspiracy of cereal manufacturers hiding the evil truth about killer carbs. It's because they know that carbs are important for,growing children and also because they've had access to results from children on Keto diets for epilepsy and the possible long term effects of those. The choice isn't between LCHF or raging high sugars. It's perfectly possible to,eat a moderate amount of carbs and get very good control - and by very good control, I mean as good as your child's. While an excess of carbs makes control hard, it is quite simply not necessary to reduce carbs to,such a low level if you use insulin appropriately, and, in the case of young children, in my opinion it is very unwise. It's your choice what you feed your child, but there are other options that are equally as good, as regards blood sugar control, and LCHF is not an option I'd choose if any of my children developed Type 1. A pump is. I would never recommend LCHF for a baby, nor closed FB groups that merely serve as echo chambers and amplify parents' fears.
