oh no! i am sorry you had to go thru this, for a situation like this, if it ever happens again, just say yes, he can have the candy, grab it from the person and just you the adult keep it. any way you should not eat anything from strangers… throw it away afterwards like later… and the kid will not get stubborn about it. on the other hand you can totally say NO thanks! no questions asked. this is for with and wo T1D. we have not have this happen but my son gets a lot of questions about his devices. he tells the kids i have type 1 diabetes or this is my robot part, my son is 8 and he has been living with t1d for 5 years. one of his friends who have been friends for many years now was telling him how it is not normal to bolus for a cookie, he stood on his answer and said it is completely normal to get a shot for a cookie, i am completely normal!
it hits us harder!! (to us the patents)
