COFFEE BREAK
Woman’s judgmental nature unleashed on close friend
friend. When she does this, I feel like
she’s disrespecting me. I have talked
to her about it, but she never apolo-
gizes. She gets defensive and says it’s
“just her opinion, it shouldn’t matter
and I shouldn’t stay mad.”
I have told Kayleigh things in con-
fidence, but she’s thrown them in my
face, which made me feel insecure
and small. I no longer talk to her
about these issues because some-
times she brings it up with a jab. I
can’t be friends with someone who
acts this way. I have stopped talking
to her, but now I’m having a hard
time not feeling guilty. Advice? —
FRIENDLESS IN MISSOURI
DEAR FRIENDLESS: Why would
you continue to confide in some-
DEAR ABBY: I had a close friend,
“Kayleigh,” for about 10 years. She
helped me through tough times and
was always there for me. Now I feel
like she has turned into someone
else. For the last six months, she has
been putting down everyone I love,
even in front of my daughter. She
sees no problem with it, nor does she
have any remorse.
Kayleigh doesn’t have a healthy
relationship with her family or in
her love life. I believe I’m her only
one who might use the information
to make you feel bad? Backing away
from a relationship like that is healthy.
I have said before that not all friend-
ships last forever, and this appears to
be one of them. Kayleigh’s refusal to
apologize if you tell her she has made
you feel disrespected indicates she
doesn’t care about the effect her com-
ment had on you. Quit flogging your-
self and get on with your life.
DEAR ABBY: Some friends of
ours agreed to housesit for my wife
and me recently while we were on a
weeklong cruise. They live in a small
condo. We have a large house in a
golf course community, so they wel-
comed the opportunity. To show our
appreciation, we gave them a $200
gift card to use at the golf course
(they are golfers).
When we returned, we learned
they had invited four of their family
members to spend several nights at
our house, and used our bedroom
and my office as sleeping quarters.
It was apparent the guests had de-
parted shortly before our return be-
cause there were piles of wet towels
in the laundry room, and our beds
still had their slept-in linens.
My wife and I feel betrayed and
hurt by what our friends did, and we
told them how we felt. Their reaction
was that they thought they didn’t
“have” to wash their dirty linens.
Were we at fault for not doing a bet-
ter job explaining our expectations
when we asked them to housesit? —
INVADED IN WASHINGTON
DEAR INVADED: This couple may
be friends, but their manners are atro-
cious. They should not have invited
anyone to spend the night in your
home without first receiving permis-
sion. That you returned to find dirty
linens on your beds and soiled towels
is disgusting. None of what transpired
is your fault. You should not have had
to leave a list of rules for these pre-
sumptuous people. Find other house-
sitters and don’t invite them again.

On Nutrition: Feeding kids with Type 1 diabetes
his mom’s device. And because
he also wears an insulin pump,
he can discretely get the insulin
he needs without the poke of a
needle.
We’ve come a long way. In
the early 1990s, a friend of mine
whose young son had Type 1
diabetes described how she’d
chase her toddler around the
house trying to give him the
multiple shots of insulin he
needed each day to survive.
And because every blood sugar
reading required a prick to his
finger, she was often unaware if
his blood sugar levels were too
high or too low.
Type 1 diabetes is the most
BY BARBARA INTERMILL
Tribune News Service
I met her at a function for
young children at our church.
Unlike the other parents who
dropped off their kids and came
back later to pick them up, this
young mom stayed and waited.
“My son has Type 1 diabetes,”
she explained. “I like to monitor
his blood sugars when the snack
is served so I can give him insu-
lin if he needs it.”
She showed me the smart-
watch on her wrist. Her son
wears a continuous glucose
monitor (CGM) that records his
blood sugar every five minutes
and sends the information to
common type of diabetes in
young people. It happens when
— for reasons not yet fully un-
derstood — the body turns on
itself and destroys the cells that
produce the hormone insulin.
Without insulin, the body is
unable to deliver energy into
cells. To sustain their lives, peo-
ple with Type 1 diabetes depend
on multiple doses of insulin ev-
ery day.
Feeding kids with Type 1 di-
abetes is tricky. They are still
growing. And their appetites
and habits change from day to
day.
Experts tell us that no one
“diet” is best for children with
Type 1 diabetes. While these
kids must carefully match their
insulin doses to the amount of
sugars and starches (carbohy-
drates) they eat, they still need
the same nutrients and experi-
ences with food as other chil-
dren. That’s why the technology
of CGMs (no finger sticks!) and
insulin pumps that deliver in-
sulin with the touch of a button
are so great for kids.
The biggest fear for those
with Type 1 diabetes is hypogly-
cemia (low blood sugar). This
can occur if too much insulin
is given for the amount of food
one eats. And it’s also a concern
when a child is more active than
usual without proper adjust-
ments to his diet and insulin
dose. In other words, it’s com-
plicated.
Again, thanks to modern
technology, a child who wears
a CGM gets an audible alarm
whenever his blood sugar is on
the down slope. Parents and
kids sleep much better at night
with this feature.
Stay tuned for more about di-
abetes. In the meantime, check

search Foundation at https://
