You cannot blame yourself for this - I know it's easier said than done and I find coping in the middle of the night so much harder than by the light of day. But that 300 was not your fault. Not picking up on her restlessness is not your fault. Remember all the times all your efforts got things right. Taking the place of a insulin secreting pancreas is a far stretch from easy or straightforward. There is only so much we can do. Hugs to you. :)Lorraine of "This is Caleb..."https://www.blogger.com/profile/09315834486942916744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812467090902204831.post-43030905206150729802010-04-14T22:09:09.811-07:002010-04-14T22:09:09.811-07:00Go easy on yourself.

It happens, and hey, you were tired. <br /><br />Popcorn hasn't given us any troubles, but as Joanne said, calculating the fiber is what I find difficult.Heidi / Jack's Packhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777565610491587857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812467090902204831.post-77117116138119274742010-04-14T18:07:04.042-07:002010-04-14T18:07:04.042-07:00I've always used carb factors for popcorn (.56...I've always used carb factors for popcorn (.56, I believe), and have had good results. Although I make homemade popcorn (on the stove, in olive oil). The hard part is factoring in the fiber content.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812467090902204831.post-1252805477416435822010-04-14T12:21:46.326-07:002010-04-14T12:21:46.326-07:00Yep - been there - know EXACTLY how you feel!

Unfortunately my kids LOVE it - so I'm stuck guessing - which sometimes I guess wrong - and that leads to.... You Guessed It!!

This last year (of 3 years) I've learned alot in terms of the numbers really not being a reflection of ME. Of course, I still screw up sometimes, over treating a low or really causing a terrible high....those days the Queen of guilt resurfaces.

Things like this are live and learn. If we let it all get to us, well...we be completely useless! You can do the right thing all the time, and diabetes will still bite you in the bahootie. You are doing a wonderful job!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.com
