babysitting for type 1 diabetes preschooler diabetic ???

[rubber ducky 010305]

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 doesn't need it.
