[QUOTE="Dawnandkids, post: 2362746, member: 537319"] Thank you. Rokaab you have raised a very good point about my daughter not blaming herself for her sugars not being in range when she starts managing this herself. If she has grown up seeing me and my husband get cross and upset based on her sugars this could be very damaging (although obviously we don’t do this in front of her but kids do pick these things up). Bic thank you - the way you are describing how I should approach this, allowing her to be the same as everyone else etc, has been the way I have actually approached it for the past 9 months, and I was definitely in a better place with it then. Since this lockdown my daughter has needed to go to school and me and my husband are both key workers. The school aren’t able to provide hot lunches and so the kids have very carb heavy meals - like I said up to 110g carbs. We changed the ratios and titrated the basal, but her body just couldn’t handle that volume - sugars running at 14-18 all afternoon then would come crashing down due to all the correction doses around tea time/ bedtime. So we had to move to packed lunches and it’s at this point I became much more driven to try and give her a healthy balanced and low carb diet. But maybe I just need to meet my former self somewhere in the middle. I am so grateful for you all taking time out of your day to reply- to make me feel better and offer advice. Thank you so much.
