Type 1 diabetes

Scott is a 14 year old boy newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. He needs to eat 80 – 100 grams of carbohydrate  at each meal and 15 grams of carbohydrate  at each snack. Using Carbohydrate Counting, help Scott plan 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner and 2 snacks that provide the correct amount of carbohydrate. Your menu should:

• Be appropriate and appealing for a 14 year old boy.
• include specific foods and portion sizes
• specify the grams of carbohydrate for each food and total for each meal/snack. To find carbohydrate content of foods, you can use any of the following resources: USDA FoodData Central. You are familiar with all of these. You may also use food labels or the MyPlate website.
