Type 1 Diabetes--any new info on getting carb counts in advance?

[jamal]

I've read through these great threads and FAQs but wondered if anyone had any up to date information. SurelyDisney has seen the light and decided to release carb counts to families with ADRs who request this even just a few days in advance. Does anyone know anything?

Thank you!

I usually just go with the my calorie king book and the USDA's nutrition list downloaded onto my palm.

I have never been able to get carb counts of food at Disney-

I too have calorie king info with me-

sadly enough -I asked for where to get dairy free information on foods or where to get dairy free foods at the parks and was emailed back sorry we don't have that info...can't help you- can't tell you where to get dairy free foods...

When it was just Brenda it was so much better

Yes, I've seen this and can't balieve you can't get Dairy Free either.

I spoke to the chef at Chef Mickey's yesterday. He said it was a liability issue, which actually sorta made sense. He said they were chefs, not dietitians. OK...

I can't believe they cannot provide the dairy info - at least general info on products that are safe. I requested info on peanut/treenut/shellfish and they sent me a general allergen document with safe foods for many allergies including lists of things that are dairy/lactose free. The document is called: Food Allergy Dietary Reference Sheet.

I have some specific questions and they were answered by Brenda - so she is indeed still there at that allergy office and sending out info.

I know that they are sending info from different people these days- I email brenda and get these
