[QUOTE="leggott, post: 144798, member: 20065"] Hi Hana, It sounds like you've been through a lot lately, but have come out the other side. 2 of my 3 kids are diabetic. My youngest child (who is not diabetic), is also two and I can understand how difficult it must be. You don't say what insulin your son is on, but if he is on injections with every meal (like my children are), this reduces the needs for snack in between meals and gives you flexibilty with the amount of food they eat at each sitting. You could then in theory give a large breakfast, skip lunch and give a bottle of milk early afternoon with injection. You don't say when you inject, but perhaps it's better to inject after the meal so you know how much he has eaten, or if he won't finish all his food, substuite with a small amount of juice at the end of a meal. You could also try going for non carb snacks between meals like 'cheese strings and small pieces of meat/fish to cut down on the amount of injections. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
