How do other parents handle Halloween and trick or treating when you have diabetic children?

Answer 1

I agree. For safety reasons, my family doesn't keep Halloween candy unless it's from someone we know WELL. Just do what everyone else recommended, find alternatives with less sugars, and substitute. Also, do other activites to associate with Halloween besides candy... hayrides, haunted houses, pumpkin carving parties, bobbing for apples. A "treat" doesn't even have to be food, it can be stickers, small toys or plastic jewelry, cards, etc. Another good idea, is to have the kids collect for UNICEF. That way, they're going door to door, in costume, but they're doing something that benefits others, who are less fortunate. It puts a nice neighborly spin on the holiday, instead of letting it be another sugarbomb holiday like Easter....

We have a diabetic daughter so we decided to have an annual haunted house party for the neighborhood. We started 5 years ago with fresh fruit and snacks we control and it has grown into a big neighborhood event. Through having this party I learned that other kids in our neighborhood are diabetic too, so this is a benefit to their parents too. We all chip in and make healthy snacks and prizes for the games and we have a great time. Check around; you may not be the only parent around you dealing with this problem, and you may be able to come up with a solution that will benefit all of you.
