Diabetic ???

i am babysitting a group of kids for a couple days.

well the 4 year old girl has type 1 diabetes.
we give her insulin morning and night and check her sugar reguarly.

i have a question tho if anyone knows

so i made coca cola pork chops for dinner
and the recipe cazlls for 1 cup of coke, [27 grams of sugar per cup]

and its for 8 pork chops.

even tho this 1 serving is devided up in to 8 porkchops,

is it still to much sugar?


plz help someone?

27 grams of sugar from coke = 108 calories divided by 8 = 13.5 calories. That's pretty much negligible. What you have to consider is total calories from all carbs including the sugars. Then figure it in to your insulin dosage. I can't help you with that because I don't use the stuff and don't know how they figure it.

She shouldn't be having coke unless its diet. If she has regular coke then she will prohably need more insulin to keep her BS down. Take a reading a hour after she has them.

You are serving her straight liquid sugar.

We need our calories to count , not just add empty carbs.

I am sure your chops are delicious but you should use a different recipe.

Remember to count her carbs.You sound like a great babysitter.

She doesn't need it.

Will diet coke work in the recipe? Incooking the taste should be the same.

yes seeing how she is very young it would maybe be alright for sum1 who has had diabetes for a while but not at her age
