Default Diabetic related toys

I got teh wizdome kit for my daughter. It has three balls for juggeling, pens and so on. Ut s wonderful teaching tool.

When I went for my diabeets class we had a few kids in there as well. Our DE after class talked to me and said thatthe realistic food sized products in some of the kits made kids learning what food portions lok like easier.
they had realistic bananabs full size oranges, bread with butter and so on.

I think if we urchased these for our kids, theyc an have fun learning portion size and learn abotu healthy foods.

one other note. at the last CME Senior DE was talking about the new fast food play kits. Some are really good and can keep kids safe by knowing what is in them. She used teh KFC skinless chciken sandwich to show a nice three carb meal.. she had a single serving of mashed potatoes and the chicken. The kids preferred the chciken dippe din potatoes while playing. I guess the buns are not that great. becaus ethe kids were talking abotu that and these guys were like 7 years old!

The best food critics also play well and can teach us a few things..........
