Take her to the grocery store with you and have her pick out things that she might like. Also look over the recipes on this site and see if she might like any. Did you ever try the glucerna liquids? They have lots of nutrition and come in different flavors. Think outside the box. Maybe a smoothie would be her thing for breakfast or something else that is not traditional breakfast food. Make sure to include her in the decision making so she feels she has a part that is important to her.

Fruit might be an option. It has complex carbohydrates which are good. Like Betsie said...a fruit smoothie might appeal to her. Good suggestion Betsie about taking her to help choose food.

My 10 year old daughter has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for 5 years now. The older she gets the less food she likes. She needs around 40 carbs for breakfast,lunch,and dinner. Breakfast is a nightmare. She doesn't like to eat in the morning. She'll eat sausage, but that's only 2 carbs a link. She doesn't like toast or cereal or waffles. Any suggestions?
