For parents and carers · Food groups
Food groups, confident choices.
Ten practical questions about carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre, portions and labels—helping parents understand how different foods can affect glucose.
Important: Use your child’s written care plan, prescribed insulin doses and hypo treatment amounts. If they may have diabetic ketoacidosis, are unconscious, having a seizure or not recovering, seek urgent medical help.
Education only. This quiz cannot replace training or advice from your child’s paediatric diabetes team.
Well done
Keep your child’s diabetes-team and out-of-hours numbers, hypo treatment, glucagon and ketone-testing supplies easy to find. Share the child’s current care plan with everyone responsible for them.
