[QUOTE="justadad, post: 1584626, member: 373519"] Hi there, We do not follow a strict plan. We decide on the meal depending on his BS before the meal, whenever we can. If his BS is in the higher range, then he would have something with less carbs, eggs, meat, fish, veggies that are low on carbs. I tried to introduce some a low carb diet, but it hasn't worked that well. So, instead of taking away the carbs, we only replaced the simple carbs with the complex ones, or those with low glycemic index. Pumpernickel bread or other whole grain, preferably rye based instead of the regular white bread. (never less than 4 slices of bread per day, or about 100 grams of bread - some 40grams of carbs) Parboiled rice, for example, though rich in carbs has a little effect on my son's BS. When my son is desperate for cereals, I do not deny him that pleasure, but I mix his cereals with a handful of chopped nuts. Fruits, usually as a snack, a banana before physical activity, but mostly berries, green apples or pumpkin. These work well for my son. Hope this would help a little. [/QUOTE]
