[QUOTE="Jen&Khaleb, post: 115010, member: 13077"] Hi Gayle, Glad the day was good even if it was a little worrysome. I've been on a few Diabetes Camps and the nurses who have been running them here for the last 20 years always make the point that children are children first and diabetic second. Sure you'll have to make some food choices now and again but having diabetes is no reason to go hungry or miss out on every treat. As you get to know what foods do what you'll be able to accommodate them with insulin. I wouldn't ever give Khaleb injections close together (at least 2 hours apart) though as it can cause a rather sudden drop if the doses stack on top of each other. Portion size might have to be considered also. Your daughter may have lost a fair bit of weight before her diagnosis and felt fairly poorly so she might want to eat a bit more than normal. A word of warning about many sugar free items, they can cause explosive diarrhoea. Khaleb has a supper every night before bed to get through the night. Hope all keeps going great, Jen. [/QUOTE]
