[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 207555, member: 13077"] As a parent of a T1 child I don't think I'd ever have a problem with him sticking to a normal diet that includes approx 40% carbs. Sure, I watch his weight, height, hunger or refusal of food. Even if he ate a meal with a lot of carbs I could calculate the correct amount of insulin. The only time I would have certain difficulties is if he wanted to eat again before the first meal was digested and the insulin had started to wear off. If he had a carby meal then a carby snack within a couple of hours he would end up out of range and if I gave him more insulin for the carby snack he would most probably hypo from stacking insulin. There are ways around most situations to still end up with good levels. I'm not sure about this but I think it would be safe to say that if I removed CHO from my son's diet I could end up in the loony bin and my child in foster care. [/QUOTE]
