[QUOTE="bizzilizzi, post: 2051637, member: 506710"] I'm interested to know how the OP has managed since?? I was mildly disturbed to be told by the diabetes team on my (8yo) daughter's diagnosis that she should be aiming for 60g carbs at dinnertime, and when I found in order to achieve that target we were topping her up with fruit juice and chocolate as she couldn't manage a shed-load of pasta or whatever, I quietly thought to myself 'this is a load of rubbish' and moved swiftly onto carbohydrate counting in time for her next clinic appointment. I didn't dare talk about low-carb with them as I picked up they are very keen on the high-carb low-fat approach and will no doubt see me as a danger to the health of my child if I show any inclination to do anything else. Anyway, we're not low-carbing, it's impossible with compulsory school lunches, we're doing what I would call medium-carb. Plus she's coeliac so that adds a whole other layer to things. I also find it very disturbing to have her give herself an injection equivalent to an entire meal just to deal with one piece of cake. That's not really very healthy, now is it. It's made me realise how normalised excessive sugar consumption is. Needless to say with the healthier eating that we are all now doing I am back to the weight I was before marriage. (Not that I advocate having a family member diagnosed in order to lose weight...) The thing is, she'd rather have a low-carb snack than give herself an extra injection, and she likes my low-carb baking, even the stuff made with coconut flour... Any suggestions for a bedtime snack that will keep releasing slowly for longer?? [/QUOTE]
