I did mention Emma to Adele, but she still doesn't want to go.

They did a wonderful job last year with Emma's BGs and Emma had such a great time! Also, they go there to learn how to be more independant. Who know, she might teach you a new move to use in your type 1 game.Emma'sDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17431160827195161359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-7299713866031498072010-03-24T16:17:35.564-03:002010-03-24T16:17:35.564-03:00Thank you very much for all the camp comments... ...Thank you very much for all the camp comments... They really made me feel better about the whole thing.<br /><br />And Pam, day camp would be awesome! I know she'd want to go if she didn't have to sleep there.

She was 8. The camp we have near us offers a one week day-camp or a sleepover option. She never in a million years would've chosen the sleepover. She went to the day camp and loved it. This year she's still not ready for the sleepover, so we're daying it again. It's great for her to meet other T1s, but you have to go at her pace. No need to force her. Maybe you could take her there one day this summer just to look at it and see what it's like. Remember, just being a T1 makes her one of the bravest children I know. She doesn't need to go to camp to prove this.Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-22613766103970398382010-03-22T08:37:43.782-03:002010-03-22T08:37:43.782-03:00Hey, Mike,

And as far as "the week off" idea, personally I still fretted the whole week he was gone. Some kids love it, others hate it, and that you can't change. I don't see the benefit if the whole idea just causes stress, we have enough of that in our life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-72242157464264265432010-03-20T13:59:47.073-03:002010-03-20T13:59:47.073-03:00Can you lower her basal a couple hours before goin...Can you lower her basal a couple hours before going riding, or turn it off a half hour before going out? <br /><br />Sounds like such a good solution on paper, but as a gamer I KNOW it is never that easy. Turning off basals at night when there is a low usually backfires on me, and jumps them to a high. I haven't had the guts to play around with it enough to figure it out. <br /><br />I'm with you Mike, I feel like my boys are always stuffing food down their throat. It just doesn't seem right.<br /><br />And lastly, I can't get my boys to agree to camp either. I've been told to make my 12 year old go anyway. (Told this by T1 people who were made to go when they were young, and grateful for it.) But it is just so not J's thing. I'm not sure what to do.
