[QUOTE="canuck1950, post: 207338, member: 33787"] Anyone know any studies on minimum carb requirements for children ? The actual requirement for carbohydrates for anyone, child or adult, is zero. On the other hand, the RDI for adults is 130 gm/day, an amount designed to prevent physiological ketosis (a natural harmless condition). For children, the RDI varies depending on their age. In either case, it is an arbitrary designation since, as I said, the actual requirement is zero. The questions you are asking suggest to me you are on the right track in trying to figure out what will best control your child's BS. If you have not already done so, I recommend you visit the website of Dr. Richard K. Bernstein who has great expertise in this very issue: [url]http://diabetes-solution.net/[/url] [/QUOTE]
