My daughter was diagnosed this time last year, age 4. We managed about a month following the recommended high carb diet, but decided it didn't work for her, so have been low carb almost a year. We've gone low carb as a family, so her twin sister and little brother follow the same diet. I can't say if you're doing the right thing...we've agonised ourselves over whether it's the right thing, but I can say a year on this diet and she's growing well, full of life and we had clinic today with an hba1c of 5.6%. The dietician and consultant don't support us, but they no longer fight us, I think a change of thinking is on its way in regards to low carb. Check out typeonegrit, that's the open page, and TYPEONEGRIT is the closed page. Loads of parents of t1 kids successfully low carbing as well as adults and lots of support.Best wishes.</blockquote>
