[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2195635, member: 365308"] Hi Neil, I am sure your daughter will grow up confidently jabbing herself and when she is ready the pump tech is getting very good e.g. pumps that talk to continuous glucose monitors and correct for highs and lows...It is great to hear that you've changed your cupboards as a family so that sweet treats are just that. Makes it so much easier for her and won't do you or her brother any harm either. Re snacks - peanut butter on apple slice, dark chocolate melted onto apple slices may appeal? Sugar free jelly and full fat yoghurt or double cream and so me berries (more of a Summer one). Hot chocolate made with cocoa and a sweetner might work (you can buy sugar free marshmallows ) although the milk will count for about 10g. I think. There are some good snack ideas on Diet Doctor website if she's at all cosmopolitan in her tastes. They have recipes but also ideas for snacks on the go. [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/snacks[/URL] Don't be put off by the word 'keto' - it just means low carb which means it won't spike her blood sugar. Hopefully you will get access to the dietician soon. Also be aware that Diabetes UK do great family holidays which could give you some peer support. [/QUOTE]
