Sure, we want our kids to like their low supplies — after all, they sometimes need to eat them when they don’t want to eat a thing. But we don’t want them to like them so much that they eat them for fun. That would equal a blood sugar disaster. In this episode, T1D mom Julie comes to talk about just that: Her four-year-old was high for several days in a row and she had no idea why until he showed her the wrappers for his low supplies that he had stashed under his hamper.
We discussed:
- What to do when you feel like your child is lying or hiding, but then shares
- How your child might be struggling with control and how to strategically return some control, particularly over food choices
- How to talk to a child who has been eating their low supplies and how to understand their needs
