JR is going to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving. JR has type 1 diabetes and is nervous about figuring out how much insulin to take with this carb heavy celebration.
What would be the best approach?
- Encourage JR to eat a meal at home before they arrive, so they won’t be tempted by high carb choices.
- Ask JR to write up a list that summarizes the pros and cons of eating extra carbs on a special holiday.
- Give JR a hug and recognize how hard holidays can be, while encouraging JR to share their feelings.
- Discuss JR’s favorite Thanksgiving foods and review carb servings and strategies to reach JR’s goals.
