[QUOTE="justadad, post: 1395073, member: 373519"] Wow, thanks all, I didn't expect that many responses in just a matter of minutes. In terms of the diet, we started off a bit harsh, but softened a bit later on. Not a problem with him. On the plus side, we all follow a healthier diet, including my 3 y.o. son. So this works well for all. Thank you for the wholemilk info. I will adjust that. Carb counting, I think I've learn how to do the basics. We count the bread units over here, or 1 bread unit = 12 grams of carb or so. He doesn't go over 50 grams per meal. Snacks are no more than 15 grams. And yes, the book, Think like a pancreas, [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] has already recommended it. There's been so much going on, that I was not ready for a new read, I was more interested in getting quick answers from forums, articles, etc. I guess it is a must, since everyone talks about it :) Cheers all [/QUOTE]
