[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1841947"] I am not sure why you were advised to stick to 3 meals a day ... unless that was what was normal. I assume he is injecting insulin on a basal-bolus regime (fast acting insulin with meals and long acting insulin once a day). If this is the case, the advice I had was, I could - eat up to 15g carbs between meals without injecting. This could be a small packet of crisps, a biscuit (or two) or something low carb such as pepparami or cheese. - eat more than 15g carbs between meals, carb count and inject. This is what I do. Some diabetes teams may be a little nervous about this if you are including correction doses with meals. If you do not do this, there is nothing to worry about. If you correct, remember the insulin will stay in your son's body for about 4 hours so do not correct during this period. Enjoy your holiday and make the most of the all inclusive. [/QUOTE]
