But remember, Joseph will remember the day that he had fruit snacks, and cake and ice cream and gummy worms all in one afternoon! Not that he went a low later. It's it great to be pumping so that we can have that freedom?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938916720101925403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856564.post-1137804771068747952006-01-20T18:52:00.000-06:002006-01-20T18:52:00.000-06:00I've had this disease for over 12 years and just e...I've had this disease for over 12 years and just endulged in some cake at my office for the January Birthdays (including mine)! <BR/><BR/>I was at 50 a half hour before cake time, so I had a granola bar. I then had a medium sized slice of chocolate cake with frosting and decided to give myself 2 units. An hour later I was 50 again!

Every kid, whether diabetic or not, should be able to have some fun and eat cake now and then. He should have days to just be a kid :). <BR/><BR/>I know you were concerned, you wouldn't be a Mom if you weren't, but I think he did very, VERY well considering. He really sounds like he knows what he is doingAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358965463031619266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11856564.post-1137567924843347812006-01-18T01:05:00.000-06:002006-01-18T01:05:00.000-06:00Sandra,We all need days like these.

So many of the things you write really strike a chord, although I am the person with diabetes, rather than the parent. I'm learning from you what my own parents must have gone through 15-20 years ago to make everything seem normal for me. I look back on my childhood, and diabetes isn't the prominent thing.

At least, I hope that day comes for me.
