Hi,

I just found your website and
think it’s great! My daughter has
had type 1 diabetes since she was
11 yrs. old. Recently, she was
diagnosed with celiac. We’ve been
on a crusade to make everything
gluten free, but her sugar has been very high. What we realized,
is that alot of the gluten free
foods are not necessarily good for
diabetics since they have alot of
carbs. Could you point us in the
right direction for recipes or
tips? Any help is appreciated.

We attended the Children With Diabetes conference at Disney World this summer and received a disability pass (for six!) with our registration. It puts the whole family at the front of the line when you walk up to the ride. We felt kind of bad about using it at first, but one of the conference speakers pointed out that since diabetes makes life difficult in so many ways, we should make the most of a rare opportunity to use it to our advantage. So we did, and it was the best trip to Disney World we’ve ever had — we got to ride everything.

Kids seem to be getting smarter with every generation. I love the questions.

Hey Amy! So glad you had fun. I had to laugh when you daughter asked if Jews believe in Cartoons. Too funny. Just wanted to say I’m so glad you had fun! Nothing more nothing less!

Glad you had a good time!. My wife and I are actually in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Disney world. I can see working overtime is going to be needed!

Anywho, have you ever wondered how is it that Mickey and Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Dumbo and all the can be on the East Coast and West Coast at the same time? My oldest boy, now 18 once asked me that. I simply replied Magic son, magic.

Back around ’88, while still on MDI, I remember being quite impressed with the medical facilities where I took an injection at Epcot.

It was much cleaner than any walk-in center back home, and they instructed me to leave all of my used supplies right out in the open on a countertop in my private exam room so that someone on the staff could ensure its fast, proper disposal.

Mickey frowns (smartly)on the possibility of discarded sharps littering up his kingdom.
