Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="CathP" data-source="post: 1346185" data-attributes="member: 328992">Hi Amy,My six year old daughter has type 1, and we've eaten low carb for the past year as a family, to help her control. I'm guessing she probably has less than 30g a day, max about 50g.Her (and our!) typical daily diet looks this:Breakfast of 3 scrambled eggs or cream cheese pancakes plus a handful of nuts and a few strawberries Lunch could be Lidl protein roll with filling, veg sticks, berries and a homemade low carb treat (biscuit/choc brownie) or edamame pasta with tuna and mayo, or omelette and veg plus low carb biscuit.Dinner may be beef casserole with veg and swede mash/edamame pasta, chicken curry with cauliflower rice, salmon and veg and celeriac chips, lasagne with coconut flour pancakes as the pasta layers, chicken dinner with veg, spag Bol with edamame pasta, smoked haddock pancakes using coconut flour pancakes, fathead pizza....the list goes on!I'd eat salad with fish/chicken/omelette every day if it were just me, but I'm catering for 6 year old twins (one of which is diabetic) and a 4 year old. They'd think I was trying to poison them if I presented salad sadly. They'll come round!</blockquote>
