Testing While Out and About

When Samuel was diagnosed with diabetes, it never occurred to us to hide the disease. No matter where we are in public he checks his sugar and give shots as needed. 

Here we are sitting in the middle of Sears checking blood sugar, and I'm so happy that he doesn't think he has to hide this.

Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday is one of our go-to restaurants for fast easy meals. We get grilled chicken breast, bunless burgers, grilled zucchini, broccoli and green beans. One thing we LOVE is the garden bar that is full of raw, LC veggies.
The kids are eating raw veggies here - not even any dressing - while they're waiting for their grilled chicken breasts and grilled zucchini.

Pub Cheese

Found this delicious pub cheese at Trader Joes. No sugar or starches added.

Chocolate Muffin Breakfast

Chocolate LC muffin
Full-fat yogurt with SF blueberry jam (Samuel has 0 carb Walden Farms blueberry sauce instead of jam)

Ah Crud!

BBQ restaurant we've been to many times screwed up Samuel's order with BBQ sauce. My husband scraped it off as best he could and bolused more, but this still happened.

I think I'm going to vomit.

Sigh. Gave a correction and will try to bring it down without tanking him. I thank God this is a rare occurrence and not our everyday lives. This is exactly why we follow Dr. Bernstein and low carb.
