It's been quite an adventure raising a now-teenager who was diagnosed with diabetes just after her first birthday! Please realize that what you'll read here is not intended as medical advice; it's just the ramblings of a sleep-deprived mom. Always consult your medical team about your treatment options, but do stop by from time to time for a bit of perspective.
Prepared
I spent some time emptying and organizing my purse before we traveled last month. Apparently it the project was overdue.
In my purse, I was carrying:
2 juice boxes
3 boxes of nerds
2 spare vials of test strips
a bag of goldfish crackers
3 rolls of smarties
an empty glucose tab container
approximately 20 used test strips and
a glucagon kit.
I believe in being prepared with supplies for my child. But this was a little too much. Especially since as she's getting older she brings her own bag for day-trips and bigger adventures. The stuff in my purse is now just for quick local excursions, or as back-up to what she's packed.
But if I ever get stuck in an elevator, I'll be in good shape.
