Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jon Mors" data-source="post: 2536745" data-attributes="member: 558578">Thanks very much all for your advice and support.When we give starchy carbs like pasta we do see a spike in glucose above the safe range, but it then falls back down within the safe range. If we gave more insulin the sugar level would come down too much.We'll continue with low carb as it seems to be working well and nobody (including my non-diabetes child) seems to mind. As long as we avoid starchy carbs the glucose stays within 4-8 all day. My son isn't on a pump but we do use an app to log meals and dosage, and our diabetes nurse can see that. We will cease using it in time (no point alienating the nurses from the get go).There is absolutely no way we are going to take their diet advice re starchy carbs, so I guess my question is whether you deem it likely that will lead to conflict and if so how to manage it. As he is a child the situation is a bit different to when you are an adult, as they feel they have a duty of care to the child that goes above their duty to us as parents.Thanks for the pointer to the Type1grit group. We'll check it out.Jon</blockquote>
