I have to say... Your corn tortilla looks so much better than anything I've come up with. I've tried making them but apparently haven't found the right recipe. What's the secret? :)Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-89459795300914553552013-04-19T19:37:31.757-07:002013-04-19T19:37:31.757-07:00Hang in there!

I tested pre test at 190, but came down to 125ish by the end. The thing that worries me is thay have a VERY strict electronic device policy, and a pump alarm might cause some issues. The teachers know I'm T1 and I have a 504, but it might be interesting. Good luck!

I did much the same, not too carby dinners the night before, in bed by 8, extra checks thru the night, good breakfast with protein, not the usual cereal, and she's done good so far, her numbers have been great, she says the tests are easy. I am happy with what her numbers have been for testing. (we've had a lot of highs it seems lately), but I am exhausted! <br /><br />Sidenote: What I find most frustrating is that her school gives the kids a snack before they start the test. So she eats breakfast at 6:30 goes to school at 7:50am, has a snack at 8am, then test starts at 8:10am. They are giving the kids stuff like fruit snacks, juice, and crackers. I sent in my own snacks for Kort, a 1/2 cup of Healthy Balance juice 3 carbs, 3 Peanut butter crackers 12 carbs, and a slim jim. I gave her a notecard with instructions, check BG if over 150 but less than 200 eat snack and bolus for 15 carbs, if 110-150 eat snack and bolus for 10 carbs, if 80-110 eat snack no bolus, if under 80 or above 200 call mom. And then they do it all over again after lunch. I would rather her not have a snack, but I guess if the other kids are having one she needs one too.

The amount of stress that standardized testing puts on children (and their parents) is horrific, let alone the problems this can cause for kids with T1. I feel like an awful person who inflicts pain on our children. I'm really nice! Honest! I believe that our draconian ways need to change, but that's another debate. Your daughter will ROCK her tests! I feel strongly about that because her mother is so caring and proactive and because she's so obviously bright.
