Eamonn Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Lots of really good advise. You might want to meet with your sons Dietitian/Nutritionist before the start of camp. If the camp could provide copies of the menus that would be a big help. Eamonn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernBlansten Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Good advice Eamonn, Trev's son needs to learn to deal with typical camp menus and how to adapt to them. The camp should not have to adapt to him. No matter what they serve him, he should be able to break it down into what it will do to his blood sugars. Carb counting is an art form and especially if he's a pumper, should be able to enjoy all the same cooking as his patrol, including deserts. Typical dinner conversation at my house is how many carbs are in each item and how that relates to the dose of insulin. At camp, I just sit in my chair and ask him how many carbs and what he is gonna do. Frequently, he's busy with something else and gets irritated. Oh well. Modern type 1 diabetic therapy has allowed these folk to really live a normal, however precarious life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
