Food rules of thumb

Food rules of thumb
  • Regular eating habits are encouraged in all children and adolescents, with or without diabetes.
  • Plan meal times and contents with other daily activities in mind, e.g. will you be taking physical exercise or sitting at a desk?
  • Take extra insulin when necessary, e.g. at parties, or when eating lots of sweet things.
  • Eat fresh fruit as a snack rather than drinking fruit juice.
  • Cut down on snacks and what you eat at every meal if you have weight problems.
  • Aim for a high fibre content in your food.
