[QUOTE="justadad, post: 1585797, member: 373519"] Hi, In the morning he is usually between 5 and 6. Breakfast does not require to much of a preparation really, and to allow him not to go low whilst school, he would have 50-60 grams of wholegrain bread with low carb jam or marmalade or peanut butter and a cup of milk, or again the same amount of bread for a cheese and ham sandwich, or a similar variety, with some greek yoghurt. It could be cereals in the morning, that I mix with chopped nuts, walnuts most often. The snack between breakfast and lunch is either a piece of fruit (green apple most of times) or a granola bar. This gives us plenty of options not to have the same breakfast every other day. We are blessed to have the grandmoms in the vicinity, so there is always lunch that would be meat or fish , with the addition of some potatoes, beans (preferably red), parboiled rice and plenty of salad (rich in green pepper and cucumber). No bread for lunch to make room for carbs from the veggies. Again a snack between lunch and dinner, which could be more carbs if there is a physical activity that afternoon. Dinner is similar to breakfast, but if his numbers are higher, we would then opt for eggs and anything that is richer in protein and has less carbs. We very rarely make corrections. My son is on 2 units of novomix in the morning and 2 in the evening. We might give some novorapid in case his numbers are high before lunch. A bit of snack before bed only if his BS is six or less. Keeping the fridge full most the times and the fact that grandmothers cook lunch every day helps quite a lot. No juice. No sweeteners of any kind, we just got into the habit not to have them in our diets. This kind of approach has worked well for us, keeps his numbers between 4 and 8 most of times. He might have a reading of 10 once a day or once in 2 days. Occasionally he hits a 3-4 day streak of numbers between 4 and 8. He has a libre, so we know at all times what his numbers are. Hope this wasn't too boring. [/QUOTE]
