[QUOTE="Ermintrude75, post: 2149718, member: 276895"] Hi Ill have had diabetes for 40 years this winter. Food and Insulin will always be the first thing on your daughters mind. In the past I would take extra insulin at meal times to cover a snack. It works as long as you make sure you eat and don't exercise more than you would normally to avoid going hypo. If you she is willing to avoid snacking between meals then that is good. There is an app called MyLife that you can log insulin and carbs into. It will work out how much insulin you need (you will need to put the ratios in and how long the insulin works for) and tell you how much insulin is still active in your system, What ever you do do not get diabetic treats. Too much and you have an undesired effect and a whole lot of other problems [/QUOTE]
