| If the lunches are anything like they are in NY, just pack her lunch. Not for diabetes reasons, but because school lunch is gross. And sometimes the carb count is inconsistent. Some days they have fruit for desert, other days there are cookies, some days it's pizza, other days it is chicken with a moldy roll (yes, I did catch them giving kids moldy rolls... I took the rolls away and alerted the kitchen staff... but I wonder how many kids ate the rolls before I noticed? Kids, particularly kindegarteners, will eat literally ANYTHING.)
The point is, the extras (the desert or whatever) usually aren't on the menu. Unexpected things like discovering a batch of moldy bread, and replacing it with a salad, can drastically change the carb content of a meal.
Hopefully where you are Lunch isn't that much of an adventure... but I'm just telling you what I've seen. I hate lunch duty!
