[QUOTE="hanadr, post: 95199, member: 8110"] The sandwich or roll is probably high in carbs. It would definitely be better if he took a packed lunch and learned what to put in it himself. A home-made burger wrapped in a lettuce leaf is carb free, or low carb if you have breadcrumbs in the burger. A baby Bel cheese, some carrots sticks, celery sticks and cucumber sticks with a piece of fruit, such a an apple, would also have fewer carbs. I believe that if you give the control over to the child( under supervision of course) you'll get the best results. your son could easily have a copy of the Collins Little Gem calorie counter and use that to make up a packed lunch with the right amount of carbs for his insulin. Is he on a premix or basal an bolus? the problem of always eaing "up to" the insulin, can cause a weight gain spiral. Katharine has brougth up a teen age diabetic son and can probably give you the best help if you pm her. [/QUOTE]
