[QUOTE="RussG, post: 207290, member: 30691"] Matt - with respect that was not your original question. You asked whether you should give your child a carbier breakfast and suffer a BG high after three hours or a lower carb breakfast and have steadier levels. This is what is called a false dichotomy. Those are not the only two options as several have pointed out. This is a judgement for you and anyone else involved in caring for your child. As everyone here has made plain, they will not advise you on what your child should or should not eat and you should seek professional advice, which you say you will do. You are now asking whether your child is low-carbing or not. Frankly the label as to whether or not your child is low carbing is irrelevant. You are clearly concerned about your child's diet and wellbeing and that is a very positive position. However, you have been given the views of a number of people with long term experience of diabetes about the factors that may be influence your child's control. You are free to listen to or ignore these, but I don't think this thread is developing in a positive manner. I hope you and your child are able to find some good breakfast options that work for both of you. [/QUOTE]
