As you may or may not know, we have to count all the carbs that P eats. The other morning, we were into our normal routine...I measured the Raisin Bran (3/4 cup = 45 grams), the milk for his cereal (1/2 cup = 6 grams), and his milk to drink (1 cup = 12 grams). I've never used my measuring cups so much!
Anyway...so it's breakfast as normal...until P spills his cereal and milk goes everywhere! You know how they say you can't put toothpaste back into a tube? Well, you can't measure spilled milk either.
But the saying came to my mind, "Don't cry over spilled milk!" It wasn't a big deal (other than cleaning it up). I just had to adjust his insulin based on how much milk I thought he drank and had on his cereal.
Counting carbs is probably the most difficult thing to do in treating P. I calculate and check and recheck. Today at school, they had Thanksgiving Dinner for lunch....well, P ate a few (only a few) bites of everything. How to calculate that? I did my best. Again, just trusting that I gave him the right amount of insulin.
It's such a releasing feeling to know that I can trust in God and not cry over spilled milk!
