Sigh, dietitian

I know but they've told me not to make changes until I see the consultant, apparently the idea of cutting out bread is ludicrous to the dietitian 🙄

It's tesco own multi seed, the mini loaf so small slices (33g)
 
She's at 9.1 and going to try fish fingers and sweetcorn for tea, 16.15 carbs, insulin calculated at 0.8 units so rounded up to 1 as per DSNs rule... I've give it about 20 minutes before she will start eating so will see how that goes!

It so sounds like there is an issue with the bread..... Particularly following your posts for the last week or so.... Have you tried the alternates (Bergen, LIDI or whatever)

I've not because of the expense, she's the only one not on white bread in the house, after this I think I will try it though

Please don't think that I'm trying to tell you what to feed your daughter.
Fish Fingers.... A lot of breading, perhaps home made with breading from an alternate flour?
Sweetcorn, though I love sweetcorn it's just that the GI is so high (55), would something like beans be an acceptable alternate (with any luck not incurring the wrath of your dietician). I also see many canned vegetables & beans having sugar as an ingredient... My freezer is full of beans & pulses that I cooked from dried & now only have them as a minor component of my meals.

I'm just working with what I have in for now. I don't think she would eat plain beans lol she's not keen on a lot of veg to be honest! Peas and sweetcorn I get away with everything else so far has been rejected 🙄

Yeah if I make those changes I think it becomes a low carb meal lol
 
Hide everything under LC tomato sauce 🙂 Tomato sauce was a savour with my kids

I am very sensitive to bread, I go to Tesco, Sainsbury etc late in the day get my burgen cheap divide into freezer bags, 1 slice per bag, reuse them to save money. Sweet corn just watch portion size. Yesit is high GI, I believe not as bad on GL though, will check and come back.
 
Sweetcorn does light up green on GL, this means that although high GI does need quantity to cause issues. I would not get too excited by the breadcrumbs on the fishfingers especially as you have calculated bolus to cover.
 
It was 3 fish fingers and 25g of sweetcorn so we will see! In hindsight probably should have put butter on the sweetcorn but hopefully she will be okay with this meal

I think you should be okay. Keep a diary of food for your diabetic team.
 
I log everything in mysugr already 🙂

I'm a bit obsessive did anyone notice? :D

You need to get some down time as well. Make sure you get away from all of this for at least an hour a day.

In my dreams! I'm getting no help I have to think about this 24/7, is probably half my issue
 
Very much so, but you cannot stay objective, unless you get some space. Try 15 minutes, then build towards an hour. You will be amazed at how this will help you.

you are incorrect but no matter.

obviously I'm not directing any advice about insulin to the OP because OP isn't using a pump. In the drift of the thread I gave my thoughts on a pump and basal rates

Well you are not on insulin and you were banned from another forum, your thoughts were best kept to yourself as I again say they are dangerous.
