[QUOTE="eshobabu, post: 2340613, member: 531419"] You know, I felt this exact same way when my child was diagnosed 3 months ago. But with enough trial, I have found how much time of what activity will bring her down by how much. For example, we play a game where she jumps off the bed on to a cushion. I know if she does that for 10 minutes, she will drop by 50 mg/dl. And it's one of our fun things to do when we end up under-dozing, or if she does it I know to give her a 5 g snack, which I know will bring her up by 50. It's all math, and once you figure out numbers, it's not impossible. Again, things will change with hormones, puberty, growth, and even random days. But you have to keep in mind, we're so fortunate that we're in 2020 and facing this with CGMs, multiple insulins, much faster acting insulins, pumps, treatments, and as the years go on, it will continue to get better. Glass always half full! [/QUOTE]
