I have been living with diabetes for 20 years, that is why feel  a bit more confident with my son. Diabetes nurses don't try to find the best way of diabetes treatment for my son and just following their ow rules without taking into account his lifestyle. Meanwhile, I choose a balanced diet with a bit less carbs. For example, for dinner he can have 1 steam meatball with a carrot and cabbage, 30 g potatoes, cucumber and cottage cheese with no insulin, so before bed time his sugar level is 6.5 mmol and in the morning 3.4. They say I have to give him as much high carbs food as he wants with a right dose of insulin. Cheeseburger or Ice cream is a great food and I shouldn't restrict him. This is confusing me as even healthy child is not allowed to eat everything and at any time when they want. My understanding, they suggest no control/ restricts on food or meal times if you make insulin, if sugar level is low before lunch, for example, I need to give him sweets or juice, to give insulin dose and then to feed, without taking into account his activities at school straight after. Maybe I am really don't undersatand something, but would like to get advice from someone, who knows how to manage my situation.</p></blockquote><p></p>
