Effective Diabetic Management in Children

Effective Diabetic Management – Children

Keeping tabs on carbohydrates helps young people with type 1 diabetes control their blood sugar.

Published in the journal Diabetes Care. Carb counting remains an “important tool” for adjusting insulin doses – according to Drs. Lori M.B. Laffel and Sanjeev N. Mehta, two of the researchers on the study

In interviews with 35 subjects, 8- to 21-year-old and their parents. The researchers found that some preferred packaged processed foods to “whole foods” because the carb content was readily available on the product labels.

Parents limited their children’s intake of healthy choices like fruit and whole grains because of their carbohydrate content.

This was despite the fact that parents and kids alike usually believed that fruits and vegetables were generally healthy foods, while “junk food” and fast food should be limited

A “healthy diet” they added, is one that is moderate in

  • calories
  • includes enough protein
  • “good” unsaturated fats
  • healthful carbohydrates
  • vitamins and minerals, among other nutrients.

When it comes to carbohydrate counting, there are ways to easily calculate what’s in fresh produce and other whole foods.

Getting a kitchen scale to weigh fruits and other whole foods is also a good idea, the researchers noted. Read more in Reuters…

Monitoring the childrens  carbohydrate intake with prepacked foods makes it much easier to have control.

Happy packaging reading

    To start blogging the best is to start with market re-surge – to find your niche and domain name. Sometimes you think you have a good topic but then nobody is interested or is looking for what you wanna tell them, you end up wasting time. Most of the time if you take your original idea and just add the keywords (word phrases) that people are searching for then vol-la you have success. The people I use to help me is market samurai, they just have so many extra’s services to offer. They have a free trail offer where you first can try it out and then if you like it – you buy the program. Just click here!
