Our 7-year-old loves McDonalds, but knows she is allowed to have it once a week. If communications get crossed between the hubby and me, she sometimes lucks into it twice. My 9-year-old can’t stand McDonald’s, so I can only hope my 7-year-old will outgrow it as well.
Anyway, I am replying because my daughter recently wore a loaner CGMS from our local diabetes center for 4 1/2 days and during that time we had her try all the troublesome foods we could think of to see how things affect her. I was stunned when I went in yesterday to meet with the CDE and we looked at everything. McDonalds is the only meal that her blood sugars stayed steady from pre-meal to 3 hours post-meal. There was no spike or drop. I guess all of that fat is good for something!!! I was glad my daughter wasn’t with me to see those numbers or she’s insist McDonald’s was good for her now.
