I just stumbled on your blog and am really enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>On this topic - I always get stuck in the quarterly doctor visits when asked how many carbs my son (10) eats in a typical day. I know what he ate for breakfast, snack, and lunch the previous days, and I know how insulin affected his sugar levels (we keep good notes of that), so we adjust the insulin on a relative basis. For dinner, which is more varied, I look at the plate. I look real hard and concentrate. This amount of pasta is about 3 units ... 5 chicken nuggets are 1 unit ... a slice of that cake will be 2 more. Does 6 sound like a good total? We'll go with that. <BR/>This gets even more of an art than a science when eating outside. Chinese? 12 units. It works out whatever he eats. And we check later to see if we need to adjust. I dare Calorie King to try to predict how many carbs a kid will eat in a restaurant ...<BR/><BR/>And, just so I'm not accused of negligence in managing my son's diabetes, he has excellent A1C's ... But that's mostly due to his work and cooperation!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for a great blog.Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164581475407567040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-35553208692169547222009-02-05T21:10:00.000-05:002009-02-05T21:10:00.000-05:00Rofl.

Those who actually do (my own dietitian, whom I haven't seen in years, had type 1 herself, and was far more cued into what the medical literature meant in a real-life situation) tend to focus on different issues than those who don't. Personally, I cannot stand newbies in the field; my feeling is that they should train on someone else's dime.Scott Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286529314567223617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076190155284676524.post-72950048380417400732009-01-22T23:27:00.000-05:002009-01-22T23:27:00.000-05:00Wow, I thought I was the only non-scale type perso...Wow, I thought I was the only non-scale type person.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564731989568599206noreply@blogger.com
