Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 Have you keto folks noticed how many of us have , Jessy, Jessie, Jess as children? Maybe I'm noticing it more because my is my MLD kid. And this time of year, the name is more noticeable? "God bless us all, every one!" Off to church then 2 concerts, Carol, and yes, I was born in December! How is he doing height and weight-wise? I would say its looks like low blood sugar, which would mean more protien and maybe more calories. Protien stablizes blood sugar over long-term better than carb. But I wouldn't do it your dieticans way, if I am understanding her suggestion correctly. If you just give him carb for snack, you will knock his ketosis and then the next meal, without carb, will bump ratio up, which could lead to more blood sugar problems. Maybe add a 50 calorie snack and slant all meals towards protien and see if that helps. But watch weight carefully after adding snack, we did it with Jess and had to remove extra calories, cuz she started gaining weight.

His dietician recommended giving him a snack between meals, his carbohydrate for example from his next meal. But won't that make his blood sugar increase and then plummet? There has ben some talk on the squish site about monitoring for protein energy malnutrition (PEM). Have any of you done this? I wonder if there may be something to this because is great straight after his meals but then he just becomes so tired that he can't even be bothered to stand and just wants to go back to bed.
