[QUOTE="Garymurday87, post: 1578472, member: 405489"] Eating out wise i guess with everything it’s just trial error & correction if required. we have had nothing but positive response from everyone who we have met in restaurants etc. I think at first we thought the whole world was watching us give jack his injections but in reality no one was . it was just in our heads, the more you get use to it all. in terms of food the more you carb count the more you pick certain things . E.g if jack is having pizza we know that’s roughly about 30grams of carbs is he is having chips its another 15. bread is around 18 .Then any lean meat its zero so steaks chicken. the majority of veg you don’t count, then finally if he is going to have an ice cream we tend to carb him around 15 for a scoop. we also have the carbs and calc app on hand which if we are unsure we use to check other foods . we normally order his food then if the restaurant isn’t massively busy we give him his nova rapid injection straight away . If the restaurant is busy we would wait to give him his injection little. we try and make sure we give him his injection so that his food will be landing on our table no longer than 15 minutes. There have been a few occasions when it has come early , which we just told the waiter to stick it back under the lights whilst we just quickly sort him out . then its just a case of getting home waiting 2 hours and either giving us a pat of the back for guestimating it correctly , or making notes down in the wifes BIG PINK BOOK on where we think we over or under carbed his meal. in terms or events , we are still only 6 months in to his journey so we haven’t really been to any yet . you can go on the JDRF website though and they host fundraising events . like walk in the park . a mini tough mudder . paint festival etc. [/QUOTE]
