[QUOTE="Gemmablower, post: 832133, member: 162868"] Chocolate with her meal seems to be ok actually no massive spikes but she doesn't have anymore than 10g carb and you can prettymuch guarantee she will eat it! Lol ! so I inject after dinner and before her choc treat. If she was to have 5g carbs of chocolate as a snack rather than 5g of fruit then yes she ends up higher than she would of done unless she's having a energetic afternoon. Family fun day sounds lovely. I would just think to yourself how often does this happen?!? And with the running around after you might find it's not as bad as you thought. Can always be corrected if he goes high as it's a one off. I had a similar situation me and my friend had a trip into stratford and her son had ice cream which I had been dreading Zara asking me for but I let her and you should of seen her face I don't think she could believe it! We shared it and it's moments like that that make me realise, sometimes it's about quality of life, little give and take. It's not all the time and she understands that. It's got to be helpful having a dad who knows about diabetes for you and Ryan. We had no clue as Chris my partner was adopted we had no history there. Lucky we also caught it early enough. Zara's ratios are changing quite a lot. Always managed to carb count ok and gave me the understanding and helped me figure things out quickly. she could only have 0.5 unit at lunch and dinner and how much carbs she should have. (Some honeymoon and come off nuvo rapid for a period of time) we weren't that lucky. She's now 20:1 breakfast 35:1 lunch and 35 possibly 30:1 dinner. Yes I found for a long time untill Zara got a cold that 1unit with just 30g carb could drop her 9/11 mmol so stuck with 0.5 for lunch but it's definitely all on the the rise now. She's had so many colds that it just keeps killing off honeymoon :-( [/QUOTE]
