Has your child missed school because of Type 1 diabetes? If so, you know that getting back into a regular routine can be difficult.
Food is an important component of school culture and a joyful part of your child's school day. However, re-establishing a routine is the best way to reduceand pave the way for positive interactions with all those engaged in your child's care. Remember that in order to stick to routines, children need positive reinforcement, a healthy amount of encouragement, loving-kindness, and celebration.
If you decide to buy a school lunch for your child with Type 1 diabetes, it may make him feel more included. One method to ensure success is to establish a weekly habit of reviewing the school menu with your child and then estimating the carbohydrate amount of the meal to receive an accurate insulin dose.
Bento boxes can also transform your child's favorite treats into a nutritious meal. For example, your child's Bento boxes could include slices of cheese, whole-grain crackers, grape leaves, crisp carrots with yogurt dip, sliced berries, and sliced apple. One technique to encourage your child with type 1 diabetes to check their carbohydrate levels is to write the number of carbohydrates on the bento box's lid along with an encouraging remark or picture for them.
