I once heard a PWD say that there are few things as emotional as food. Couple that with a disease like diabetes and it can get super tricky. One of the things I don’t like about being a diabetes parent is the necessary gatekeeping around food. Too much food (without insulin) or too much insulin could be deadly serious. Anytime a person with #type1diabetes eats, there are so many considerations: blood sugar, insulin, insulin onboard, activity level, nutritional content of food. It’s a lot to consider for an adult, let alone a kid. We’re starting to teach our 7yo about these decisions that he’ll need to make anytime he eats.
