Managing Type 1 Diabetes requires a person to become their own pancreas which is no small feat!  For secondary caregivers, especially those who doesn’t care for T1D kiddos frequently, managing blood sugars can be a daunting task. 

This handy reference sheet contains the basics of nutrition for pediatric T1D management and is a helpful resource for any caregiver to keep on-hand. I initially designed it for educating School Nurses, however, the language can be easily understood by non-medical caregivers (extended family, babysitters, etc.) as well! 

Topics addressed:

  • Carbohydrate basics
    • Estimated carb needs
    • Nutrition label reading
    • Carb counting apps
    • Glycemic index
  • Insulin bolus dose calculator
  • Managing blood glucose during physical activity
