[QUOTE="azure, post: 1474354, member: 39639"] It depends on his blood sugar. Sometimes Type 1s (young and old) find they need a small snack between meals eg if they're active - that is, a snack without an insulin bolus. When I was first diagnosed, I had things like a small serving of fruit, a digestive biscuit or two, a glass of milk and a cracker, one or two crackers plus cheese, etc. Have you and your son seen a dietician yet? For children especially input from a dietician is very helpful as children need enough nutrients for growth and a dietician can help you plan out a good way of eating to make sure the necessary foods are fitted into your son's regime. Sometimes it can work better to spread food over three meals and two or three snacks rather than try to squeeze it into meals only. This is particularly true with children. Push to have carb counting explained to you asap. Even if your son is currently on fixed doses for meals, it will help hugely. [/QUOTE]
