Natalie Feb 1, 2011 (1 year ago)Yes! Things like the first day of school, one of her sporting events, or going to the movies. When you see the BG it's like a light bulb goes off and you realize the situation is causing it.
My son loves everything except fish. They both love my home cooking. -
Melissa Feb 1, 2011 (1 year ago)We find that stress does impact Hunter's numbers. Extreme excitement does too. When my husband is deployed Hunter's insulin needs increase, sometimes slightly others significantly.
Foods- Hunter loves almost anything. Lately it's been soupy, raw clams and strombolli for him.
