My 8 yo daughter is type 1 and takes a snack to school every day - usually something starchy like breadsticks or crackers, plus a piece of fruit. She boluses for this and it seems to be enough to get her through to lunchtime
The school have just announced plans that all snacks should be fruit / veg only.
She's not a great fruit/ veg lover and the only ones she does like that could be sent in for a cold snack are strawberries, grapes, raisins, apple and carrots. All high in the carbs/ 'of which sugars' ratio.
I guess I'm really asking for advice as to whether this is going to be ok for her? Do you think it will cause a high peak in her sugars and be enough carbs to see her through to lunch?
Any advice welcome!
