Along with everything else listed here, we keep little candycanes in the house. The peppermint is soothing to upset tummies, and it's a good way to work gradually on raising a stubborn low BG if you need to get it up to dose insulin for ketones.

ketone strips are good but i also like to have the percision xtra blood ketone meter and strips on hand
...for those who may not know what this is it test blood ketones and gives you the "now" vs. urine strips that show a few hours ago the levels of ketones

 And most folks who have issues or histories of kids spilling ketones use the strips, not the stix.

We swear by Pediacare Gentle Vapors Nightlight. This helps the kids breathe through the night when they're stuffy.
