Jessica sounds so mature for almost 15. My goodness! Her thoughts & words bring such hope, inspiration, and trust in the Lord for all of us to remember. I love that verse from Romans that she quoted. I just have to be reminded of it from time to time. Thanks for sharing Jessica's thoughts on JJ & his diagnosis. This was so sweet.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072030400404976772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2584446850056309166.post-85334364494622905042008-02-25T13:40:00.000-06:002008-02-25T13:40:00.000-06:00I disagree with anybody that says JJ can't have ce...I disagree with anybody that says JJ can't have certain foods or certain amounts of food.<BR/><BR/>The better way to state something (if I can be bold enough to make a recommendation) is to say that some types of foods can be more prone to cause blood sugar problems (both highs and lows).<BR/><BR/>The key with eating anything, is just knowing the correct amount of insulin to give and when. The challenges come when some foods don't affect the body the same way as others...so you will find yourself over time 'learning' how different foods affect him.<BR/><BR/>For example, when Caroline eats Waffles for breakfast, we count them as 20g carbs each instead of the 15g thats on the label. I don't know why it is, but if we don't do that she goes higher.<BR/><BR/>One approach is to avoid problematic foods...another is to try and keep their lives as normal as possible and account for the variability as best you can.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376446409534942024noreply@blogger.com
