Title: Pepperoni's & Cheese
Post by: gonnagetthere on August 06, 2010, 06:50:03 AM
My son who is 14 was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 4 years ago ,which means he is insulin dependent . But following this program he can lower his insulin and lose the few pounds that the insulin causes him to gain . I have made a few snacks that are no carb that he loves to eat . They are also easy to make so smaller kids can make them with just a little help. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do .


Pepperoni's & Cheese
 Pepperoni's
 the little mini cubes of cheese
You put the pepperoni's on the plate then slice little slices of cheese and put on top of each of the pepperoni's put in microwave for 30-45 secs . We like to do it until the pepperoni's get a little crunchy .


Bacon Wraps
Cheese stick
Bacon slice
 Wrap the bacon around the cheese stick hold with a toothpick brown bacon in a pan with pam or on a indoor grill . You can use Turkey Bacon ,so there is not so much fat .

 Well I have kept his A1C at 6-6 1/2 up until this last year they say teenage years it will go up & down . His A1C was 8 this last time . When we left the hospital 4 years ago they told me to give him  75 carbs a meal I know now that is the reason he gained a little weight . Plus they sale more insulin . We have cut him down to 45/50 a meal now . & using less insulin. He is a kid & all the teenage food is carbs .
  His sugar since we cut down the carbs when he eats healthy carbs his sugar stays at 85-160 which is good for a stubborn teenager . ;D.
  When were you diagnosed and you do still have to take insulin dont you ?  I am just fat from being on low fat /high carb diets . My body justs does not take carbs well now I understand from Dougs Book. Me & my husband went on a diet I ate 45 carbs a meal he ate 75 carbs a meal . I dint lose a pound he lost 3-5 pounds a week . This is my first week on less then 20 carbs . I did lower before but this will be the first week going by Dougs book .

They still make fun of the Diabetic kids , because they have to go to the nurse to check their  blood . They have to stand off to the side to eat their snack. When he was in the 5TH Grade the other boys would say "here comes the diabetic kid he cant play he might go low " . Then the good nurse left so now he  is homeschooled .

You are right about kids gonnagetthere.  I have been a Middle School Student Leader at my church for about a year now and I have been very surprised by some of the things I've seen and heard even at church. I pray for our young people and what their minds are exposed to now.

Paula it is terrible ,when Tyler went to middle school he was only there 3 days before I took him out because of the nurse . The lady that worked in the nurse room was a type 1 like Beebs & ty she walked out to the car with us leaned in the window & said "Jo you are doing the best thing the right thing ". I was worried that he would be friendless she said you dont need friends like this. He will find his own friends when he gets older & has a job. Just worry about teaching him his school work & how to take of his Diabetes for now ,so I never have looked back .

Gonnagetthere I think the best thing you can do for your son is to teach him to cook.That way he can figure out how to make things he loves but low sugar.One day he is gonna move out and need to know how to take care of his diabeties.I would be more than happy to teach him how to make his favorite foods.Let me know what his favorite meal is and I will get him started converting it.There is anything that I can't convert or replace(except popcorn).Maybe then he can teach you :D :D :D
