https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m Because Xinyi is both on a ketogenic diet and is a diabetic, we need to control her diet a little bit more carefully to meet her dietary requirements. We've also started taking her blood glucose a lot more frequently -- once before breakfast and once before bedtime (at least 2 hours after dinner). en-us 2020-09-22 10:56:49 UTC 2023-02-08 14:36:52 UTC hello@padlet.com syquek https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767578934 Fat: 50%

She has also been prescribed a ketogenic diet (please reach out if you'd like to read the 
paper that her doctor referred to).

Consequently, we'll need to track her diet closely to try to fulfill the requirements of the keto diet while still keeping her blood sugar low.

Diabetes also makes it harder for Xinyi to heal infection, so we're trying to avoid foods that cause inflammation (e.g. sugar and trans fat).]]> 2020-09-22 13:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767942520 syquek https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767998450 2020-09-22 13:22:40 UTC https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767998450 syquek https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767999342 2020-09-22 13:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767999342 syquek https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767999799 2020-09-22 13:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/767999799 syquek https://padlet.com/syquek/k8spug3wk3bnqr2m/wish/768008510 We've stopped giving her snacks in the afternoon because we're worried we spike her sugar.
