This is one of those "open-ended" questions that are so hard to answer. It would take an entire book to teach them the answer to this. But I would suggest that the consider what their target range is: If they are aiming for too tight a range, they are going to be frustrated. They need a fairly liberal range with a child, and accept that not all readings will be in that range. For example, I try to keep very young kids between 80 and 200 at least 70% of the time, at least pre-meal. If they are concerned about being over 120, they're going to go out of their minds.

You can ask your neighbor what he uses to keep his lawn so green, or ask a friend for her famous zucchini bread recipe... But who do you ask those day-to-day questions about life with diabetes? Your medical team is the place to start, but we've gathered a few other experts here to help you out as well. Check out the latest questions parents are asking, and pose your own, too!
