[QUOTE="Jon Mors, post: 2535479, member: 558578"] Hi, Our 7 year old son was diagnosed a few months ago with T1. We are puzzled by the diet advice provided by the NHS, which is basically to eat whatever you want and adjust insulin accordingly. This seems very '1950s' to me. I can understand why they want to keep it simple but we are good cooks and even before this diagnosis we were healthy eaters and are thankfully able to afford to eat well. We are concerned that the NHS might pull us up on following a low carb diet (inspired by De Beers book). Any advice on how to manage the NHS relationship? We hope they will just come to trust us in time, but aren't banking on it so are circumspect about what we tell them. For what it's worth the low carb diet appears to be doing wonders and his glucose is largely within the normal range. Thanks, JM [/QUOTE]
