[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A diabetes diagnosis is not meal train worthy.[/quote] A diabetes diagnosis is a huge change. It often comes with a hospital stay, and a medical crisis. It involves a ton of changes that need to be navigated, and it causes a ton of grief. Your sense of safety is shattered, your routines upended, and you need to learn a bunch of new skills. So, it absolutely warrants a response on the same level as other major medical events. Having said that, because of the issues with carb counting, etc . . . a meal train is probably not the best choice, in that it's probably not actually helpful. I wonder if someone has asked this mom or dad what would be helpful, and free up their time so they can figure out the food thing and other challenges. Whether that's rides for the other kids to activities, or someone to come fold laundry, or a shoulder to cry on. [/quote]
