Science Project - How carbs effect me

This years project is complete. Lots of data was recorded in that little lime green note book, lots of fingers were poked, lots of meals were measured, carbs counted, and we all ate together as a family including snacks just as if we were diabetics, but the only difference was we were able to not finish our food, skip meals, drink what we wanted, have seconds without insulin or measurements  or even grab something completely different if we chose since we weren't the controlled subject. 

I don't really eat much so it didn't really bother me. My husband loves his breakfast so of course he would have his seconds with a breakfast burrito or a skillet. Or for dinner a slice of cake for dessert. Always his favorite bowl of cereal before bed. Daniel has his sugar free desserts of jello or a Popsicle. I'm not a dessert person so I'd have nothing. I know pretty boring for a Type 1 Mom. I'm not a sugar lover and I'm a water drinker. 

Daniel did all his typing, charting, gluing, organizing on his own this year. He only chose to use dinner numbers to place on his board. But, chose to graph the days. It was hard to glue letters and his toddler brother Landon wanted to help and Daniel was such a sweet brother to allow him to help glue. Daniel kept saying it's my data and presentation that matters and I can say Landon helped me. What an awesome big brother! 

Landon was just as proud of his project too he said with a smile and wanted to take his picture with his project not knowing he was messing it up at least 5 times. But, we had lots of fun. Stayed up late, had lots of laughs, that's what learnings about. Making mistakes while making graphs, brainstorming ideas, doing your own work, and being proud of your own work. 




My silly happy boys. Proud of everything they do together. Brothers will be brothers. I'm proud of you Daniel! Learning about Type 1 Diabetes and why carbs are important is the first step in understanding for yourself about what it does to your body. Teaching others spreads the word and is the gift of opening the eyes to what Type 1 Diabetes is all about. Great job son on your own work! 

Even little Landon says my brother has Diabetes and he's sick with pride. Your doing a great job in this little world of yours. #proudtype1mom
