Healthy Eating with Paediatric Type 1 Diabetes
An introduction to the principles of healthy eating for children with type 1 diabetes.
Note: new guidance published by SACN 2023 states:
- pasteurised whole and semi-skimmed cows’ milk can be given as a main drink from age 1 year (SACN, 2023), as can goats’ and sheep’s milks (SACN, 2023; COMA, 1994)
- pasteurised skimmed and 1% cows’ milk should not be given as a main drink until 5 years of age. These lower-fat milks can be used in cooking (SACN, 2023; COMA, 1994)
Classification: HP (Health Professional)
Advice requires some explanation from a Health Professional who has basic nutrition knowledge to enable correct implementation.
