I have been heavily recruiting my family and friends to join ... If you need any convincing you should read their book "It Starts With Food"<br /><br />And I would love to share recipes of real foods that kids will eat! I already have one winning recipe ...

This is exactly what I needed to read. This s...Wow! This is exactly what I needed to read. This stuff has been so much on my mind. In the hospital/at diagnosis, most everyone gets the same pep talk, "Your child can still eat whatever he used to eat," as if it is more important to reassure the family that things won't really be so different than it is to help them have good health care. I like that Dr. W very much!<br /><br />The thing about the super-carby eating is that it is sort of...normalized? Many kids can eat over 100g CHO per meal. I imagine it's not good/optimal for any of them, but T1 kids/families are hyper-aware of it not being good for them. My non-D son will eat THREE BANANAS with peanut butter as an after school snack. And I let him. And I don't feel bad about it. Because it seems so wholesome. But that is one ton of carbs. 3 bananas would wreck the D-child's BG, mood, and outlook on life for hours. <br /><br />And Whole30! One of my best friend is on about day 27 of the program, and posts a photo or drawing about it each day on Facebook. I have been thinking I need to do it too. What is scaring me away is the no nuts/no beans part. Also it seems like you need to eat meat, and I don't like meat. I do like sweet potatoes/cucumbers, and according to her drawings those are on the menu. Anyway, I hope you write about your Whole30 experience and encourage me to sign up!<br /><br />Can we brainstorm a list of good meals for T1 kids? (I.e. you tell me what you make for dinner and pack for lunch?)<br />katyhttp://bigfootchildhavediabetes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641270014654297376.post-2384632353688798902013-03-23T13:36:54.823-04:002013-03-23T13:36:54.823-04:00Cereal is the worst ...

Spiking your blood sugar with Cheerios can not be a great way to start your day whether you have diabetes or not.<br /><br />Katie it's great to hear you have found success! Thanks for the encouraging words.Doloreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313952947881042891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641270014654297376.post-6060656877672529772013-03-23T09:38:29.296-04:002013-03-23T09:38:29.296-04:00Good job and keep up the great work!!

I attribute it to wearing the DexCom and finally seeing what foods were actually doing to my blood sugars. Cereal, for example, was the reason I was staying high for the entire morning. <br /><br />Since then, I have never purchased a box of cereal again. For breakfast I eat eggs, bacon, sausage (turkey) or low carb wraps w/peanut butter, etc. The minute I cut out the "sugar, simple carbs" is the minute I finally saw serious improvements in my BGs.Katiehttp://www.diabeticadvocate.comnoreply@blogger.com
