Although no food is off limits,the child with diabetes does need to learn the typical diet plan: 40-50% carbohydrates (complex is better than simple),20-30% fats,and 15-20% protein.The first meal is appropriate.The oatmeal is a carbohydrate,but the nuts give some protein and some fat.The pancakes with sugar-free syrup are alright if the child adds a protein.The cinnamon roll and juice are all simple carbohydrates,and this selection shows the child needs further instruction.
