As a T1D who loves to travel, I was recently reminded how diabetes is a part of every waking moment of my life before heading South for my birthday extravaganza. Most folks just throw clothes in a bag, grab some cash and hit the road. That is NOT the case for a person living with Type 1 diabetes. I’m a planner so the diabetes related thoughts start flooding my consciousness about a week or so prior to leaving.
- Do I have enough insulin?
- Should I pack extra needles?
