[QUOTE="SMULPY, post: 2194939, member: 518372"] Hi all, My 7 year old daughter got diagnosed with T1D in the middle of December 2019. It has been a struggle through Xmas with all the nice food and chocolate on offer but she has done great. We have tidied up our cupboards and given away most of our sweets (kept some for her 2 year old brother). We have to test at breakfast, 2 hours after, dinner, 2 hours after, tea, 2 hours after, bedtime, etc She is on 4 injections (3 x NovoRapid and 1 x Levemir) - we are circulating 9 injection locations (tops of arms, thighs, tummy and bum). She is fine doing the Glucose prick tests herself now, but she still needs a cuddle at Injection time - has anyone any suggestions? My daughter is a big 'grazer' and loved to snack throughout the day, sadly this has had to stop and snacking limited. What are the best snacks for her to have? - We are using apples, babybell cheese, cheese strings, cucumber, peppers, carrot sticks & dips, low far yoghurts - but you get bored of this after a while. Rich Tea biscuits and Oranges, but these seem to creep up the sugar levels. We have yet to have Carb Counting and dietary help Any help and pointers would be appreciated.
