[QUOTE="Tickled.Pink, post: 2195638, member: 454920"] Hello, Well done for coping so well. My daughter was diagnosed at 10, and she’s 12 now. She was doing her own injections the day after diagnosis, but always hated finger prick tests. The Libre is a life changer on so many levels, and I’d recommend your daughter get one as soon as possible. For snacks, we were always told a mid morning snack of less than 10g of carb was acceptable without insulin. We find that variety is the key. My daughter sometimes has fruit (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and melon are best), a handful of unsalted pistachios with a few raisins, or a few peanuts. Cheese is good, or a small biscuit or small square of cake. I always find a very small portion of something high carb doesn’t send the blood sugar high, but my daughter doesn’t feel she’s been hard done by or missed out. Her favourite is a single finger of Kinder Bueno or one finger of Kitkat. These are less than 10g of carb. Wishing you all the best. [/QUOTE]
