[QUOTE="suzi, post: 46250, member: 11767"] HI Al's dad, I have a 10yr old T1 son, who was diagnosed at the age of 7. We have just started a Fabb course which stands for flexible adjustment of basal bolus, were also doing carb counting. I think the reason you can't find anything about the effects of low carbing for children is because it is highly ill advisable. Children need carbs for energy and growth, i have spoken to my DN about restricting carbs in Andrews diet, she said don't go there, but by all means if Andrew doesn't want carbs with his dinner on the occassional evening, then fine. Not all carbs shoot the bs up high, its all to do with balance. At present Andrew is taking 19u of levemir at bedtime, 6u humalog at breakfast,6u humalog at lunchtime and between 6-10u humalog at teatime, how does this compare with your sons insulin regime? Of course it depends on what food is consumed also, but if you wish to give me details on diet and insulins i'd be happy to point you in the right direction, Kind regards Suzi x [/QUOTE]
