[QUOTE="justadad, post: 1841967, member: 373519"] Hi [USER=478821]@Jayden2407[/USER] I have been experimenting a lot with my son's snacks. He is not much of an eater, in terms of quantity, and he likes to have snacks between meals. What normally works for him: - nuts, cashews, almonds - a handful is a good snack and does not cause big spikes. - a handful of berries, a plum, half a green apple, a carrot, few cubes of stevia chocolate bar - protein bars where sugar is substituted with stevia When we are on holiday, we just can't get him out of the water, be it pool or sea. Swimming and other activities in water have a massive impact on his sugars, like no other sporting activity, so we allow him doughnuts and ice cream, without covering with insulin. Covering with insulin combined with a long physical activity in water may cause hypos. This is how we do it. I am not suggesting this is what you should be doing, but maybe you can use my input to compare with others' suggestions, and see what you think might work for you. Cheers [/QUOTE]
