The other night Jacob's numbers were reading HI. This means that he is so high that the tester is not recognizing his blood glucose level. The tester only reads up to 600, so the Mac n cheese I made for the boys was out of the question and Jacob had a choice of Hot dogs, or Lunch meat. He first asked for just Cheese
Jacob: How about some Cheese?
Me: Sure all you want is cheese, do you want some lunch meat with it?
Jacob: What else is zero?
Me: Peas, Green beans, lettuce...
Jacob: Can I have green beans?
Me: Yes, go down and get a can.
Jacob went down stairs in the basement and brought up a can of pea's and a can of green beans. So I made him a huge bowl of Green beans and he ate all of it while we all had Mac n Cheese! What a good boy. Jacob's numbers came down really fast thanks to him not eating any carbs. He was back to normal numbers within the hour. Only problem was then he went low, right before bed! You never can tell with this thing they call DIABETES!

I don't know how you don't go nuts with the up and down and up again! You're amazing!
What a great kid to just eat the beans and not throw a fit.
What a sweet boy!! He is so good. I bet things are hard for him and I am glad he is so understanding.
I miss those boys. Jacob is a good boy, I would have went and got him the beans, I would have went to the store and bought frozen beans you just had to steam if that was what he wanted. (:
