To say that Halloween is ‘fun’ is an understatement! So many kids and adults look forward to this one evening of dressing up, eating as much candy as they want and partying with friends!  But Halloween can be scary in more than the obvious way for families of those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
