[QUOTE="Matt1212, post: 207479, member: 23423"] Hello Everyone, thanks for all the posts relating to controlling carb and impact on children , i think this thread has taken on a very positive manner. A type one child whether you call it an intolerance or lack of ability to process is going to have a harder time controlling there BG if large amounts of carb are consumed. A diet approved by a diabetic team that has enough carb to ensure they thrive but not so much that they are on a rollcoaster of hypers/hypo's would seem the way forward. Whilst allowing for a near normal a consumption of treat (likely to be high carb/high sugar) foods at the right times. (is the level of treats the average normal child gets currently correct ? probably not or we would have an obesity issue , so mayne a bit less than the average child) Finding that controlled level of carb is an exercise that as a parent I need to achieve whilst keeping other factors in balance. At this point I would estimate 100-120g carb a day might be about right. thanks Matt [/QUOTE]
