Birthday parties
- Learn to eat the food that is served,
i.e. don’t bring a bag of ”diabetes food”
- Check that diet soft drinks (Light) are available
- The children often play around a lot
 - risk of hypoglycemia
Provide the host with hypo advice
- Take an extra unit for the cake if needed
- Bag of sweets can be brought home and eaten at suitable occasions
- Birthday parties should be FUN so it is better to have a slightly higher BG than a hypo!
