Type 1 Diabetic Breakfast | 6 Tips to Mastering Your Child’s Blood Sugar

Breakfast is certainly one of those meals that can make or break the day.  

In-Range Blood Sugar:

Yay!!  You (and your Child) had a wonderful night and they woke up with target BG (or within their target range)!  Fantastic news.

If your child is like mine and likes to get up and eat right away, try this tip.   On the weekends, he does tend to be a little slower in rushing to eat breakfast.  This works well for us during the week since I am up much before him anyway.  Pre-bolus while they are still sleeping!  During the week, he wakes up at 7:00 am, so about 6:50 or so I will dose him for breakfast.  This is a great way to get insulin started before eating higher glycemic foods, like cereal, English Muffins, or cinnamon buns!
