Type 1 diabetes

Thank you, Jennifer!

As a matter of fact, there is a spray on oil that works really well. I will try to get the name of it when I am home.

There is alcohol in vanilla extract! geeeesh. No wonder you are having so many a day! LOL

Good job, everybody… Carol thinks we all left. : )

I’ve been working on getting my 15 year old to pass 9th grade so I don’t have to drive him to summer school at 8am all summer. I ALREADY DID THIS HOMEWORK!!!! ARGH.

Thank you, Jen!

are there certain foods that lower it better than others?
thanks

Mary,

That is wonderful news! Congratulations. I know you were concerned with the whole thing, but, as you say, it is working out for all the best.

Vicky,

I would let my kids ride the school bus. I used to ride my bike to school in elementary school, and then the bus in high school. If there were to be a problem on the bus, I believe a parent must fill out an emergency card for each child, and the bus driver has a radio if needed to see what to do. That’s just my 2 cents worth, though.

Good morning!

In response to this, low blood sugar in the newborn of a diabetic mom is one of the things for which the medical staff will be watching for the first couple days after delivery. This is one of the main reasons they take the temp so much of a newborn…. it is all related.

Just thought those pregnant ladies challenged by diabetes may want to be aware before they see the med staff taking so many blood sugars/temps after delivery. I know I like to know what may happen before it happens.

I knew I liked being a pear for some reason! : )
