Diabetes in children: parties DIABETES IN CHILDREN: PARTIES
Of course you will want your child to go to parties and have a party of his/her own.
In planning a birthday party for your child you should consider:-
(a) Timing: Parties for younger children are often held during the afternoon. However you may find a party over mealtime more satisfactory, as more carbohydrate exchanges can be allowed. Remember that your child will be excited and no doubt running around and so will require additional carbohydrate exchanges in order to prevent hypoglycemia. You could also allow a little extra carbohydrate and adjust it at the next meal. Do not try to save carbohydrate exchanges from earlier in the day.
(b) Type of party: This will influence the types of foods served. As children become older, barbecues, sausage sizzles etc., may be appropriate or perhaps you may consider eating out.
(c) Suitable foods: All food prepared should be suitable for the child with diabetes. It is important that food is attractive and tastes good. Diet drinks are suitable for all guests. Emphasis should be placed on savory foods.
Nibbles could include cut up raw vegetables and dips, chips, twisties, pretzels, or savory shape type biscuits. Party favourites such as party pies, sausage rolls, cocktail frankfurts, sandwiches are also suitable.
After the savory foods a few artificially sweetened foods could be placed on the table. Diet jelly can be used in a variety of ways. Many of your own recipes can be adapted for use in a diabetic diet e.g. chocolate crackles, cream puffs. (Refer recipe section).
The birthday cake should not create any problems. Suitable alternatives could include:
1. Sponge or cake prepared with artificial sweetener as a substitute for sugar and decorated with whipped cream, or a cream cheese frosting. A small amount of grated chocolate or 100's & 1000's could be used for decoration.
2. Ice-cream cake — prepared commercially or at home.
3. Sponge prepared using a minimum of sugar would be acceptable for special occasions. The amount of sugar used should be included in estimating the carbohydrate content of the recipe Decorations similar to cake prepared with artificial sweetener would be suitable.
Note: 15 g sugar = 1 carbohydrate exchange
