The brain does need glucose yes however it can get this from the liver converting protein. Humans are designed to eat protein and fat, carbs in the diet are not needed at all, many people eating meat only diets (some for as long as 50 years) prove this

The nurse said she would have to have it 4 years like it was law :/ Maybe like you say it's not true but if they would make it difficult to take it off I'd rather not do it, 4 years is a long time for a 16 month old! On a pump she would still spike after meals anyway wouldn't she? I know doses...

I know a lot about low carb and while it may be restricted it certainly will not harm her or affect growth. I have seen pictures of kids with pumps and heard stories, my worry is that first of all our team would make her stay on it for 4 years before considering removal if we change our mind...

I'm reluctant to put her on a pump, she's not old enough to make the decision herself and unless there's no other option I don't want to make a change to her body like that. How can I make sure her basal is correct? The nurses change her doses every time I talk to them which is also...

Parent It seems no matter what I do I cannot control LOs blood sugar :( She can have the exact same food at the same time on different days and one day she will hypo after and the next day will hyper! I'm just totally at a loss, I feel out of control, I didn't want to change her diet but to...

Little one was 5.3 before bed and 8.6 this morning

Called the DSN and she advised to drop levemir and up the breakfast... just when I think I understand something like this happens haha

I treat lows one jelly baby at a time unless she's gone below 3mmol then I'd give 2 straight off. She had an upset tummy the other week but seems better. I'm sticking with meals where the dose has been right before and it's still haywire :/ she was diagnosed a month ago and I did wonder if she...

No she has injections

The fat head dough can be used for other stuff too, I've made cinnamon rolls with it before now!

We seem to be having a bad day :( she's really all over today and I've no idea why, she was low in the night and first thing and we seem to have been fighting hypos all day even though I've stayed cautious with her doses (carb counting ) in between she's been hyper though! [emoji31]

Just saying hello really! My youngest was diagnosed last month, her Daddy is also a type 1. Still getting to grips with everything although I'm thankful I already knew a fair bit from OH before she was diagnosed. Back to school for my eldest tomorrow (starting year one [emoji28] ) and logistics...
