Hello to everyone. I am looking for advice/help, please.
My son has just been diagnosed with Diabetes type 1. He is 5 years old and is active enough. He was on a high-carb diet with lots of insulin at hospital. When we back at home, I put him on a low-carb diet and decreased insulin doses from 13units/ per day to 4units. Later I noticed that his sugar levels were within limits, for example, in the morning - 4 - 6mmol, 2 hours after breakfast - 5 - 7mmol, just before lunch 3.2 - 6 mmol, after lunch - 4.4 - 6 mmol, so on my risk but with a great care I cut insulin doses down and did injections only when it was necessary (high carb food or extra snacks).
My son eats up to 8 times a day, including snack times up to 5 times a day and is absolutely happy about this. Please, could someone advice me if I do right thing as diabetes team pushes me on high-carb food, including fast food, with ''a right'' dose of insulin. Also, maybe you know someone wh proctices a low carbs diet I could speak with or any legal articles I could use against them, please.
Thank you
