About the Design

Type one diabetes and cookouts involves carb counts, insulin, blood sugar checks, and how many carbs

are in that delicious pasta salad?

As a mom of a kiddo with type 1 diabetes, these are just some of the thoughts that go through my head at any potluck meal we're invited to. What if he has low blood sugar? (pack juice boxes to help raise it to a safe level) What if he goes to high? (give insulin to bring him down) What are the carb counts on all these non-labeled foods? Some I can look up, but sometimes I need to S.W.A.G (give it my best Scientific Wild Ass Guess to decide how much insulin to give to cover the carbs) Welcome to a glimpse of our world. My son wanted me to design a T1 design so I thought what better time than a summer cookout contest? Oh, and the little dots in the background make a graph like the one we can get from a continuous glucose monitor.
