Hi all.

I woulod appreciate any ideas for a packed lunch for my daughter (T2, insulin dependent, also must be low calorie).

I have always given her stuff like small amounts of pasta with tomato based sauce, rice and tuna with salad, cous-cous, that type of thing.

At the moment I am trying to veer her away from the pasta etc as her bg's have risen worryingly high again. Think the high bg's are a recurrence of a problem we have had in the past and we are not sure exactly why it happens but I don't want to exacerbate a bad situation so am looking for alternatives.

So far we have had ham salad, tuna salad, a small slice of edam and salad..I think she is going to have a meltdown if she has salad again!

Any ideas? Thanks :D
 
Hi I hate packed lunches :evil: You dont say how old your daughter is but could she manage a chicken thigh or leg if wrapped in foil it can be eaten without much mess . I like prawns and Avocado as finger food much more like a posh buffet than a packed lunch

My daughter takes a flask of soup. Very basic recipe - veg roasted in garlic olive oil for 40 mins ( no potatoes) add chicken stock salt pepper. Then bliz up in food processor. I make a pan full and freeze in small containers.
 
Hi

does it matter that my daughter (T1, age 9) does not have a low carb packed lunch? She has a roll (no butter or filling), two sausage rolls, grapes, cheese biscs ... total about 60g carbs ... is that too high? She hates pasta and rice and pizza sends her sky high. She doesn't like tuna, cheese or meat, she likes fruit and veg and crisps. I know it's unhealthy but I didn't realise I should be giving her a low carb lunch!
