[QUOTE="azure, post: 1309304, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=354382]@OlgaJ[/USER] :) Sorry to hear about your son's diagnosis. It's best you speak to your son's consultant before changing his diet, so you can get advice specific to him and make sure his diet is balanced. Hopefully they'd also be able to,recommend appropriate amounts of carbs, protein and fat :) No one can tell you whether you're doing the right thing. We all want the best for our children :) All you can do is research (studies NOT Facebook, biased websites or blogs), speak to your son's team, and settle on a level of carbs that suits him. It's hard with such a young child. There are other parents here so keep checking back. Most don't log in every day. It sounds like you've made a very confident start :) Edited to add you may also want to look at information about pumps. I have three children, none of whom have Type 1 (fingers crossed) but if they did, a pump would be top of my list. I personally would choose a level of carbs that was moderate rather than very low or very high. Most early problems with high blood sugars after carb meals are due to the insulin timing needing adjustment rather than the fault of the carbs, as long as they're not excessive. I had this problem myself early after diagnosis - spiking to 13+. I now eat the same meal and only spike to a max of 6.5. I believe [USER=19390]@mcpound[/USER] has a child on a pump if you're interested. [/QUOTE]
