If your diabetic child is being argumentative/not doing as asked/shouting crying etc (child in this case is 5 years old)
Do you :
A : treat as any other child and “tell off” accordingly
B : have a think about potential BG based on meals/insulin/exercise etc and test if really sure there could be an issue
then “tell off” if BG OK and maybe take it easy on them if BG not correct (particularly if low)
C : test as soon as the issues begins as it is unfair to reprimand if BG are not correct , and only “tell off” if BG in a decent range
if BG not correct make every effort to negotiate the situation.
Trying to decide upon a happy medium between treating as non-diabetic
With the risk that my daughter gets into trouble when someone non-diabetic would probably be having a fit
(i.e last night when she was 2.3BG and arguing)
And making diabetes an excuse for all bad behavior with the risk that being naughty becomes always the fault of diabetes.
Thanks
Matt
