</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The look of Curing Kelsey is changing...I have received some "It's too light, I can't see it!" comments so I am going to make it a little darker. I also want to mention that Kelsey's levels are getting better. YAY! However.... I don't think my idea of sugar level perfection is going to be reached any time soon. I am learning to be a little less up tight. (It's a work in progress). - :) I am also forming Team Kelsey for the JDRF walk in March and I will be updating everyone on how to join, or donate to Team Kelsey! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, I have been doing this for 9 months, which makes you think I would know what is going on. But sadly I still have no idea why her levels are the way they are sometimes....and it drives me CRAZY. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have decided to document each item she is given, along with carbs to make sure it is not just me. So everything was going great and then, of course the roller coaster started up. She was perfect in the morning, had a regular size carb snack, and dropped to 44 before lunch...ummmm WHAT! She gets the same amount of insulin everyday with same carb servings (I measure). So I figured ok...I'll let it ride. Gave her a normal lunch, not giving her any extra to make up for the 44, and before dinner....347! Again...WHAT?! When yesterday she was perfect with the same amount of carbs and the same amount of insulin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alright, I have to say this. There is NOT enough awareness for Diabetes!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I went to a local fall festival with tons of tents dedicated to spreading awareness for certain groups, and I saw nothing for Diabetes. I would love to see more companies spreading awareness for Diabetes, can I get a grey ribbon during the month of November?? PLEASE!? lol - Don't think I'm grumpy.....but Diabetes does not just affect certain age groups. Does my 2 year old deserve to get poked with a needle all day? NO. So come on all you BIG NAME companies with PINK everything....let's try to get together and help spread awareness, and knowledge and hopefully find a cure for Diabetes. I am not saying that Breast Cancer Awareness is not important because it is...FOR SURE! I just would like to see a grey ribbon on SOMETHING! :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">-Wow, I do sound grumpy!

So naturally, I am thinking of how we are going to work the CANDY SITUATION! Since we are new to this, I was happy to see that both </span><a href="http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=105984"><span style="color: black;">JDRF </span></a><span style="color: black;">and Children with Diabetes have a Halloween Survival Guide. (Thank goodness!) :) </span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;">Here are some great tips to help children with Type 1 Diabetes celebrate Halloween without the sugar shock:</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: black;">* <b><span style="color: orange;">Trade candy for cash or toys.</span></b> Renowned chef Michel Nischan has two sons with type 1 diabetes, and he says that a little candy on Halloween is OK, but suggests that most of their treats be exchanged for a toy or something they really want. "Parents can also buy back the collected candy with a coin for each piece," he says, adding that "older kids may appreciate their parents making a contribution to a worthy charity like JDRF or to the victims of Hurricane Katrina."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">* <b><span style="color: orange;">Plan alternative activities and treats</span>. </b>Host a Halloween party and offer things like glow-in-the-dark insects, Halloween-themed stickers, and cause-related wristbands as treats. Popcorn balls and sugar-free candy and other sugar-free treats can replace the usual sweets. By placing the focus on fun and not food, the holiday can be better and healthier for everyone involved.</span></div><div align="center"><br />

* </span><b><span style="color: orange;">Inform teachers and health care officials at your child's school.</span></b><span style="color: black;"> Prepare your child as well as faculty and staff with information about type 1 diabetes before Halloween events begin. The holiday can be an opportunity to teach about health, science, and diet. Some schools have used Halloween as an occasion to calculate the </span><a href="http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=106002" mce_href="http://www.jdrf.org/index.cfm?page_id=106002" target="_self"><strong>carbohydrate counts for varied serving sizes of sweets</strong></a><span style="color: black;"> before classroom parties. </span></span></div><div align="center"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: black;"> (Make sure to check out the link!!)<br />
<br />
* </span><span style="color: orange;"><b>Take inventory.</b></span><span style="color: black;"> If you are going to allow your child to eat candy, be sure to have them pick out only a few pieces at a time and eat them according to a supervised schedule. </span></span></div><br />
