[QUOTE="lexie32, post: 127885, member: 23028"] Ben is Type1, 5 years old very tall for his age and eats for england, he was diagnosed last Oct and still in the honeymoon phase, we have been advised to keep his diet as healthy normal as possible but what does that mean??? for example a usual day would consist of breakfast - 1 muller lite youghurt and 50g dry bran flakes ( he won't eat milk and loves them funny child) mid morning snack of fruit at school Lunch - 1 round of brown granary type bread sandwiches with usually ham or cheese filling, cucumber or carrot sticks ,1 piece of fruit and 2 small ginger bread men Mid afternoon snack of fruit at school tea - pasta bolognaise, and a treat i try to keep to under 10g carbs for example a minimilk, small twister icecream or a time out bar bed time 1 or 2 plain digestive biscuits if his bs level is below 6.5 we are managing ok bs levels as long as he isn't ill and his 1st hba1c was 7.1, is this what you would call a normal diet, when i ask my friends what they give their children some are manically healthy and only give sweets biscuits once a week and some kids just seem to live off junk. would love to hear what other type 1 kids eat by the way Ben is on 4 injections a day novorapid and lantus.
