Pepperoni's & Cheese

[gonnagetthere]

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 .

Ive been diabetic since I was two. What are his sugars like?

[gonnagetthere]

 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 . .
  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 .

On my other post about keytones ,should I check a certain time in the day ?  It has been trace both times I checked today. Does it take a certain amount of days for the keytones to show up ? Thanks for yuour help so far , I believe this forum will help me stay on course .

I got made fun of a lot when I was a kid. Diabetic diet was different then. I always had to leave class to eat snacks and stuff. Everyone hated me.....

AWWWW beebs

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 .

[paulachappell]

This is so SAD

[beebs]

Yeah I didnt really have any friends....kids are very cruel.

The way kids are today I dont know if he is missing alot . He hangs with his cousins where I know he is safe .
