[QUOTE="olliedig, post: 70333, member: 14887"] Hi My son (now five) was diagnosed just before he was two and has always been a fussy eater - he still is now. We just fed him the things he would eat and tried to make a big thing of him deciding what he wanted. We have tried really hard to try and get him to eat a well balanced diet but sometimes it is impossible because he really doesn't like trying new foods. We try and give him foods that are really similar to the foods we know he likes and gradually (sometimes) he will try them. His diet is not brilliant- but at the end of the day he is very rarely ill and he is growing into a strapping big lad. His blood levels are all over the place some days and it doesn't seem to make any sense as we can do exactly the same thing the next day (and he can eat the same) and his levels will be perfect. I think with young children you just have to try and get the best you can and deal with the highs and the lows as quickly as you can but try not to worry too much about getting levels perfect because in my experience it's impossible. I really understand your worries - we had days of only eating yoghurt and biscuits - it does get better - honestly. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
