I joined this group with hope that my little 3 year old type 1 diabetic daughter probably can live free of hypoglycemia and long term complications. I seek your kind help and advice. Thank you

I feel you pain. I suggest you go on line and research all you can about this man and his work. He is the only T1 diabetic person of his generation still alive after 60 odd years and maintains perfect numbers. This is your best resource for achieving a normal life for your little one.

Welcome to the group. Please feel free to do more postings, comments, asking questions, take the polls posted on the polls section and of course, meet the other members of the group.

Has your daughter's Endocrinologist told you about carb counting and when she should have a snack? She can also bring emergency food and drink with sugar for when you have her not at home. Have you told the school? The school Nurse will be a great help for your daughter.

Hello admin,

thanks for the reply. hopefully her school has a nurse, though its so called international school, not sure if they have one.

carb counting, I asked the doctor and dietician and they didnt give any concrete idea. except the NOs, they didnt help with a proper diet plan or chart. and its appolo and rainbow hospitals. I will be seeing a dietician but really dont have much hope from them. Trying to figure out from net and people who have experience

You have to learn these yourself

In India school nurse are not heard of

Carb counting is an alien concept to drs and dieticians
