Halloween is not a favorite amongst the parents of kids with D. It complicates things a bit. But, Riley is excited and he'll be happy to eat one little piece of candy at the end of the night.
I wish everyone a safe,happy, low carb as possible Halloween.

That's a big help Penny, thanks!
I understand the frustration with Halloween for diabetic kids. I'm sure it's just as frustrating for you parents, too. But it's nice you can make adjustments to Riley's insulin dosages so he can have a piece of candy at the end of the night. I hope he has fun! What kind of costume did he wear? I hope you took pictures.
