Re: ---Anyone--HELP PLEASE

[Guest guest]

I heard from my daughters dietitian

This si my dilemma

I mentioned the increase in early A.M. seizures--with high glucose levels

(over 90)

Well after listening to " glucogenesis " , etc---Dawn Phenomenon & Somogyi

effect--WHO KNOWS???

STATS:--11-19-02= Wt- 25.0 KG (55 lbs) HT- 121.5cm (48in)

09-----03= Wt- 26.8 KG (59 lbs) HT- 127cm (50in)

Calories=1575/day

protein=21.9/day

3.5:1 ratio

Now --I decided to see what the dietitian would recommend, so she could plot

her stats on the growth curve ( wish I had access to the " curve " --I would have

done this myself)

She falls within the 10-25% for wt and 3-10% for ht

Therefore wanted to take 200 calories away--although she said her growth is

not too rapid, but feels decreasing calories will be the answer

O.K.--so I need your help

She grew 2 inches, and gained wt so does this mean her calories should remain

the same, increased or decreased??

I asked her what the other alternative was ( I hated to take away her snack

of 200 cal---or have to divide the lesser 3 meals into 4 meals)

She stated to increase her protein to 26 gms/day, and leaving her calories

the same

Dilemma--

What do you think?

Thank-you in advance
