My daughter Kacey ...Hi Amy, <BR/>I just found your blog. My daughter Kacey is 8 and is Type 1 too. I agree with Penny on this one... there are days I've told Kacey no and then there were other days where I threw my hands in the air and said she could have it because she was running high anyway. We have another daughter that is 14 and there are times where we tell her no as well and she gets very frustrated and tells me "Mom you're punishing me too and thats not fair!" but then there are days where she just doesnt ask because she knows. Its a Catch 22 :( The day of Kaceys school Christmas party, she came home with a candy cane flavored sucker in her bag and she said "Mommy, I ate the chex mix because I knew I could have it but I saved the sucker for Sissy." My heart broke for her and I had to explain that if she'd like to have the sucker then we could add it into the dinner dose. She insisted that it wasnt good for her anyway and she'd like to give it to her sister.<BR/><BR/>So it's hard and I know how ya feel!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355188326211750959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-51065789703900762022008-12-03T13:24:00.000-06:002008-12-03T13:24:00.000-06:00Thanks, everyone!

She's had pretty good numbers the last few weeks and I was feeling good, but the highs have reared their ugly heads again and I just get really down- so thanks a bunch!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842687454353803647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-14516257051444535622008-12-03T07:43:00.000-06:002008-12-03T07:43:00.000-06:00Ah, this made me cry.

With this disease what's best for your child is a judgement call. <BR/><BR/>There have been plenty of times when I've had to tell Riley no about treats or candy. Then, there have been times when he's high and I let him have the treat/candy anyway. I don't want him resenting his disease.<BR/><BR/>Either way I feel guilty. Either I deprive him of something and make him feel "different" thus doing damage to his mind. Or, I let him indulge and let his sugar rage, thus doing damage to his body.<BR/><BR/>(((big hug)))Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-69089676607209165212008-12-02T23:55:00.000-06:002008-12-02T23:55:00.000-06:00Oh, it's not silly at all!

I pray, too, that Jada will get her candy cane, soon...and for healing, that she may enjoy many such treats with her family.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608148690122716117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001527982718639574.post-69087153259115095602008-12-02T17:23:00.000-06:002008-12-02T17:23:00.000-06:00This made me cry.
