I was actually the one who gave Elise a shot at a red light ... We went out for dinner (about a 15-minute drive from home) and realized we had left the insulin at home when we sat down at the restaurant ... I grabbed Elise, drove home, got the insulin and on the way back, at a red light, I gave her a shot ... Good times :^)

And test strips. Everywhere.

I do the same with guessing carbs. You are good.....

I do the same with guessing carbs. You are good....I don't think I could do a shot while driving! I've checked bg's while stopped at a light, but a shot?! We've yet to check toes, but so want to do that at least when she sleeps. Do you use the finger pricker the same way as you do for fingers? I know it came with some clear plastic thing for checking other sites, but didn't know if that was for toes??

Today is my little girls 3 year "diaversary". We've been reminiscing about all the diabetes fun we've had the last three years. Just when we think we have it all together we go ahead and get on an omnipod 3 days before Christmas and flying to see family!! Never a dull moment for the d-moms! You can't imagine how many strips we picked off the carpet of the rental car before returning! Gross and yet hilarious. Happy New Year, mommas.

love this! sometimes my 5yr old grandson actually asks me to test his blood, "so i can be like you Nan" he says. i tell him he never wants to be like me, at least in this regard!

Ha ha!! I love the red light part... you are good!...

Love, love, love!! Especially the one about the bleeding from getting hurt..omg, I thought I was the only one who did this. And my non-D 8 year old daughter who will NOT let me check her BG? Whenever the cat scratches her and draws blood, the first thing she says is, "Get the meter, you can test me!!"

"At a red light, you are able to pull off you...

"At a red light, you are able to pull off your child's shoe and sock, clean their toe, do a BG check and get their sock and shoe back on before the light turns green." Sounds like a Chinese fire drill. :o) Rock on Mom!

Hilarious! Yes, yes, yes! Walked over a test strip in the cafeteria the other day and felt ridiculously happy that another tribe member was there somewhere.

About the banana, I actually do the same thing, except I weigh in increments of 12 carbs. If I hit 2.0 ounces on the dot, you're exactly right -- I feel proud. And I sometimes brag about it.
