[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 38025, member: 8110"] Most of the care of diabetic children seems to be based on avoiding hypos. I worry that a lot of children are running through life with BGs high enough to be doing damage a lot of the time. Does your daughter actually need a mid morning snack? is her morning BG low enough to warrant it? As a supply teacher I was once instructed to give a mid morning digestive biscuit to a diabetic child, who'd had a fasting BG of 16 :( that morning. How matureis your daughter? Is she old enough to be able to check her sugar in school and decide if she actually needs that snack to get her through to lunch? How about a protein snack? Those Wholegrain bars are just compressed sugar. I came upon a child in 1 school I went in to who was having a satay stick mid morning. Your daughter might like to carry glucose tabs in case she feels "wobbly". Perhaps you might want to ask Dr. Katharine how she coped with getting her son through the early stages of learning.
