I don't get this, but my 2 year old was 279 when she woke up from her nap at 3pm. She played and ran and at about 4pm she was 176.
We keep David's diabetic supplies that need to travel with him in a small lock lid tupperware box about a half size longer than a regular sandwich box. David puts his emergency kit in his back pak every day on his way out the door for school and k...

Hi,
I carry all my daughter's D supplies in a small backpack that will also fit a few extras like my wallet, a bottle of water etc. Mine looks like the photo attached and you can find it here: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%...
I don't know the age of your toddler, but I would recommend you start early on getting her use to carrying a bag. The only reason why I say this is because my daughter, T1 for 12 years, still forgets her test kit. I know it depends on the kid, but...
I've got a fanny pack that has insulin pens, meter, glucose tabs, alcohol, etc in. Everything my son needs for diabetes. Then, I can put that small pack inside whatever other bag I have to carry. My purse, a backpack, a tote bag... depending on wh...
Anyone have any serious good ideas for parents to haul of the toddler goods and diabetic stuff with them everywhere. The free JDRF backpack has worn out after a year and is too small for my husband to carry. Any ideas??
This is great!! I also use the unisolve wipes to remove those temporary tattoos that kids love.

Star Lewis said… - I got really lucky and lived in florida at the time and my children had the florida state insurance that covered it. I really do hope that there is a way for you to get a pump soon...I will see what I can find or do to help you out. It is nice to meet another mother of a young diabetic child...If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask me anytime...

Jessica Park said… - Hi, Erin, Just wanted to say hello and welcome to TuDiabetes...I have a 3 year old who's had diabetes for 2 years now who wears a pump. I hope your daughter stabilizes soon...it does take time especially in the beginning. I remember the first year was tough getting used to everything. It's still tough, but I'm thankful for this group of people who have gone before and can give tips and advice. Blessings to you! Jessica

Leah D. Rogers said… - Erin, You are NOT alone even if it feels like it sometimes. You have so many people on this site that relate to what you are going through and are with you. I could not imagine not having this site and these people. You have every right to feel the way that you do. Is there a JDRF/support group in your area to go to for some local support? I myself have only been to one meeting but it was only 1 day after my daughter being released from the hospital so I pretty much was in a daze at the time. However, it made my eyes wide open to the fact that we were by far not the only ones going through this. It was a big relief to just see families and kids who have been doing this for a long time and seeing that life goes on and it's just an extra thing that fits into your everyday routine. It's like having a new infant (in my case two at once) when it seems like there is no way that you do everything that needs to be done but somehow you DO and over time it is just everyday life. I will be thinking about you and hoping for a little sunlight in your day. Take care, Leah
