My little one hardly ever gets to drink juice "recreationally". She usually only gets juice when she has a low, and even then she is drinking it so fast she probably doesn't even taste it! She can even be heard, when asking for snack, asking for some "cheese, grapes, and a little bit of water.... yummmmm!" so what if we have brainwashed her to the point that she is excited about water and low carb options. And then one exciting day, my sugar savvy mother in law found this juice by Healthy Balance. It has 5 carbs per 8 ounce serving as opposed to the usual 15! As you can imagine I was so happy to be able to offer "a little bit of juice" as an option every now and then. I am so thankful to be raising a child with a nutritional issue in the year 2011. We are getting help from the grocery aisles instead of feeling bombarded by things that could be life threatening. Here's to all of the parents who raised children with diabetes before there were things like Healthy Balance Juice, you are truly and inspiration to people like me.
