WDW and kids w/T1 diabetes and asthma/food allergies. Help needed!

I don't remember if it came up on this thread or not, but I just wanted to mention that you can leave things like nebulizers in First Aid in any of the parks and they have nice private cubicles/rooms where treatments can be given.

Thanks for the information. If I know my sister, she won't be comfortable not having access to it at any second, but I'll let her know. I can't imagine carrying that sucker around all day!

Hi, I'm quite new to this site and am hoping for a little feedback.

And portion sizes, ugh. I still need to measure things as I'm not good at guessing.

Not for your trip, but at home. Weight Watchers sells serving spoons that are 1/2 C & 1 C size. They look like regular serving spoons. DD uses them all the time when she has friends over. She doesn't have to get out measuring cups & make it so obvious she is doing portions. Helps her feel more normal. You don't have to be a member to buy stuff for them, just go to the website & find an office close to you.

1 - don't compare your daughter's insulin doses and carb ratios to anyone elses except for entertainment purposes only!

2. I haven't found a reason for it but it seems like he will get into a 6 week or longer period of needing more insulin -

Brilliance again. Particularly #1.

As for 2. So true but the reason is simple - Murphys law of diabetes: There is no stready state and this 6 week thing is just long enough so you think you are going to get to a steady state finaly and them old Murphy kicks a leg out from under you. LOL
