People frequently ask us if we "let" Sam participate in Halloween. We do. Like most four year olds it is one his favorite days of the year. He's very into "spooky" at the moment and we decorated our house two weeks in advance (including assembling a six-foot skeleton in a birthday hat). Armed with a list of carbs for every "funsize" candy we might encounter we wade through the synthetic cobwebs and trick or treat around our neighborhood. We keep track of every bite and give him the appropriate bolus (thanks OmniPod). Blood Glucose at the end of the night: 107 = no harm no foul. Sam did come up with an original costume which actually used candy as the artistic medium... marshmallow, bit o' honey, pop rocks, white face paint and ... well see below.
