My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed Type 1 three weeks ago. It's been tough, but she's doing so well. Since suffering dka and losing a significant amount of weight (she now has a very low bmi), she has a ferocious appetite. 2 hours after dinner she has a large pudding, after which she always has a hypo an hour afterwards despite using the correct carb bolus. It usually consists of choc pudding, custard and a croissant (sometimes a cup of popcorn or crisps, too). It's a lot of carbs, but she does need them at the moment and I want her to feel as if she can still eat anything and isn't too restricted by this chronic condition. Any ideas why she has a hypo each time and any suggestions how to avoid it? Many thanks in advance of your replies.
