Never take a day but I do take “moments”. Birthday’s, holidays, special occasions. There are more normal days than special days but I never miss out because of my diabetes.
I would never let my son take a break from checking bgs. But on Tuesday after a rough school day due to bgs, we decided lets hit pizza hut and then have ice cream! They both can be helllish on bgs, but we upped the basal, watched the CGM and let him enjoy. Ended up never even going over 200 
Sometimes I (I ALWAYS weigh everything he eats) let him eat chips or popcorn right out of the bag,and I swag it. Gives him a sense or normality and he said it just feels good. We still check bgs as normal, and bolus of course, but sometimes little things like that can make a word of difference.
Thanks, lala_wolf, I thought that might be what you were trying to get at: how can we just relax once in a while without all the constant worry, worry, worry. ;0)
yes - never worth worrying about - but always worth paying attention to and taking care of as best you can
As others have said its not a great idea to take a break from the diabetes routine - we would all like to but you pay for it one way or the other. I have a good ‘feel’ for what my blood sugars are up to and tend to know when I’m in the norm range so I do skip what I call ‘non-essential’ tests sometimes.
Best vacation you can take is to find a hobby or activity that takes your mind off things for a while. I happen to take a vacation from my life at 300km/h at a racetrack trying to dodge other cars How can that be relaxing I hear you ask - simple, it is a task that requires 110% concentration…when I’m out there all I am thinking about is trying to get the car around the track in the fastest possible time…the rest of lifes worries just fade into the distance.
