[Diabetes-Talk] travel and diabetes in public

[d m gina]

Oh I thought I would be able to get rid of that silly pin because there 
was a button on it that would deliver insolin.
I don't know then what I read on the list last week if a patch came off 
you lost around $100 worth of insulin.
If it just reads the numbers, I will have to think if I want it.
Just stay with the stick.

> That helps out lots.
> In the room for the most time is a fridge.
> That helps.
> Just don't forget the insulin when it is time to leave the room.
> Oh me that wouldn't be good.
> Eating, if you have oatmeal at home, just ask for it out as well.

> Now good or bad I eat both. Then adjust as the day progresses.
> At noon if you like soup have that or a childs hamburger.
> I don't eat the large ones.
> Leave that for my husband loll.
> Just be you, listen to your body.

> A small snack anything like that.
