Hi Folks,
I'm so impressed with the Fabb course i have started through my hospital, Fabb stands for flexible adjustment of basal bolus and is aimed at children. I have a 10yr old T1 son with coeliac disease. Last night we were given a set of Salter Nutri-weigh & go scales, OMG how good was that of them, there computerised and contain 1400 listed food items, you just weigh your item, type in what it is, it tells you the weight/calories/protein/carbohydrate/ect, every home should have a set.
Have a diary to fill in for next week,for what Andrew eats/ weight/units of insulin ect, then we'll be learning about correction doses ect. I am so impressed with the course and the wonderful dietitian and diabetes nurse, wish everyone had an Alison and Rhonda in there area, life would be so much easier. Naturally as Andrews a growing child we can't low carb, but at least we have the knowledge to adjust to a low carb diet when he reaches adulthood, thanks to this wonderful forum and the team we have behind us.
