[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 208289, member: 13077"] Just a thought on pancakes. We sometimes go to maccas on a sunday morning and I give Khaleb extra insulin with breakfast so he can eat them for morning tea (he only gets the butter and not the syrup). I know he isn't going to hypo in the time it takes because I have repeated this test a few times and give the morning breakfast insulin to suit. The insulin is peaking at the same time he has the high gi food so we tend not to get any spike and the day goes on as usual. Home made pancakes are probably not as high gi as maccas. I too, would limit or omit foods that caused very unreasonable control. It used to be banana when Khaleb was little but I've since reintroduced them and things are okay. Pizza can sometimes be a problem but if he has the pizza and some other food together it works out a lot better. Low gi foods can sometimes be as troublesome as high gi in my experience. I give Khaleb rolled oats for breakfast as being low gi it suits that time of day when he seems a bit insulin resistant (growth hormones in the night maybe or just the Levemir wearing out?). Lunch time Khaleb needs some fairly high gi food and dinner is somewhere between the 2. They must work out quite expensive pancakes using ground almonds. I looked at making a few improvements to food using alternatives but the cost turned me off. Australia is really expensive for food compared to other countries and I think the ground almond meal was about $7 for a little bag. I have a blender with a grinder attachment so might have to look at making my own if I can buy almonds cheaper. [/QUOTE]
