This is true, and ideal, however...it can mean extra shots (for second helpings, unplanned dessert) or can lead to having to replace carbs (if he doesn't eat everything on his plate, doesn't like what is offered-and refuses to eat it....).
Re Halloween:....the treats can make excellent treatments for low blood sugar! (Just make sure sugar is the first ingredient) We stock up right after Halloween, when the treats go on sale too!!!
For night time lows, juice boxes often work best, our son doesn't even wake up anymore!...probably another hurdle to cross at a later date as he learns to take care of himself in the future though ;-(
