Hello. From the above website I made a chocolate & coconut cheesecake before Xmas and one slice at a time doesn't spike me. Or you may find something else suitable from the recipes there. I put the cheesecake in the freezer cos it's so rich-tasting and I have 3 slices left.

As she is a T1, and as it's one day, couldn't her insulin be adjusted to cover the carbs in her birthday cake?

We are still learning all about the adjusting of insulin as her results are still really high they want us to stay safe we have lots of great help from our local diabetes nurses. Thanks for reply
