hi. I have just started reading Arden's Day and love it and so much you say relates to my experiences with my son Teddy who is 5 and is on Omnipod and we are about to start on Dexcom G4. Your words are helping me already. It sounds like Arden has juice when she is low or needs a boost for exercise etc. Why juice? We use Glucotabs for hypos and 6g plain biscuits for exercise etc and non-hypo lows. I don't like using glucotab as they got stuff in we not keen on for our healthy eating boy but as we know they work quickly and well so haven't seriously tried anything else. Your thoughts and reasons would be really helpful to us.
thanks so much
