But average is 250/day.<br /><br />The doctor isn't concerned at all....it's not like I'm feeding him pizza for every meal and he's quite thin...<br /><br />But I'm with you, the carbs add up fast!

I wouldn't stress about the amount of carbs and I know it's not easy getting some kiddos to eat fruits and veggies. Nate eats pretty much the same thing every day. Waffles, Danimals, Crackers, Cheese, Apple Sauce and Grapes. Seriously - that's about it at this moment. I know he'll eat more soon but right now - that's it. <br /><br />Dude - he totally deserves a donut! So do you. Endo visits are totally stressful. <br /><br />Great job, Mama!LaLahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278430665049354027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-63431868054565201882011-07-19T19:44:43.290-07:002011-07-19T19:44:43.290-07:00I agree that as he gets older he will start trying...I agree that as he gets older he will start trying more foods.

Our last one was traumatic for both of us! Interesting about the carbs, I'm going to have to go add up now and see how many she gets a day. Great job on the steady A1C and guess what Natalie's was also 7.7 at her last check up.

We use EMLA ...We TOTALLY use EMLA for blood draws. We use EMLA every chance we get. That Dex insertion seems to hurt Sweets more than pump sites so we always try to use it then. Even with it, she flinches and says OUCH in her sleep. Pump sites she never wakes up or moves a muscle. <br /><br />And I also bribe her with food after blood draws. Probably not the best idea. But it's so traumatic... let the girl eat a pancake! :)<br /><br />Sounds like you are doing great!
