hi, as you know, my little girl was diagnosed T1 last monday, i dont know all the medical jargon but at the mo, she's allowed 160g of carbs(?) per day, she has 40 for breakfast, 20 mid morn snack, 40 for dinner, 10 mid afternoon snack, 40 for tea a nd 10 for a supper snack (does that make sense?)
anyway, i usually go all out on halloween for the kids, you name it, i do it, but this year i've sent my son to his dads for the night, and wanted to shut the curtains and just let today pass quietly, i mean, this day is all about sweets, chocolates and kids isnt it?
but then i'm sat here thinking why should i stop doing what i do? i dont want Mia to miss out on ANYTHING, yeah i know she cant gobble chocolate like it's going out of fashion but why should she not have a halloween?
thing is i am still trying to level her blood tests out so what do i do, how much chocolate or sweets can she have? i'm not daft, i'm not gonna ply her with them but surely theres a way around this????
do i cut something out of her tea an replace it with a small bit of choccie?
god theres so much to learn isnt there??????
