Managing reluctant eating alongside Type 1 diabetes can be very challenging due to balancing how much your child may eat with how much insulin to give in order to avoid a low or high blood glucose level.

Reluctant eating and your anxiety levels can quickly increase once your child realises the attention they can get from you if they refuse food. Children are also very good at picking up on parental anxiety, which can make things worse.
