Hi, with everything you have to check carb content. If it is less than 15g then you can take it without insulin. If it is more you need insulin according to DSN

we have been advised by the DSN to have sugar free gum between meals to support dental protection-that said My daughter nearly inhaled some the other day so she is now banned again!
