[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 207096, member: 12578"] Whatever any of us say can only be suggestions. I think most of us adults with T1 are very wary of giving suggestions about children. Rice krispies are actually very high GI (82) so one would expect the rise to occur quickly and then fall.. too much, have you checked at 1 hour? like Leggott , I suspect the basal is a bit out but also appreciate that it's difficult to check, ie fasting, with a child. Why not try a lower Gi breakfast? An egg with some granary bread and a small piece of fruit, proper porridge (not the instant packets) with some berries. Plain yoghurt (with sweetner?) and some berries with a piece of lower GI toast, bacon , tomatoes and again a slice of low G1 bread. Nutella might be useful as a spread as it is fairly low gi and you don't need much. Perhaps , try to find a lower gi cereal she likes (list here but unfortunately most of the popular ones are very high :( ) [url=http://www.gilisting.com/2004/05/glycemic-index-breakfast-cereals.html]http://www.gilisting.com/2004/05/glycem ... reals.html[/url] I agree with Jopurs comments about rebellion against an overstrict diet, I've read many accounts of young people who have done this and think this is one of the biggest problems for parents.You're somewhat between the devil and the deep blue sea .
