[Diabetes-Talk] travel and diabetes in public

[d m gina]

Thanks again for letting me know.
I just can't keep putting money out for the insulin and have to pay 
over $100 for that, then I will ask about the invoconna to change that 
to a generic.
I am paying $300 for that, was told there was no generic when I know 
there is something out there.
My friend got one, and she couldn't keep paying the price either.
Just nuts.

>> One of the worst places is the bathroom.
>> You don't know how clean it is.
>> I wish you had known Mike Freeman.
>> He would say, Just do you shot and don't worry about it.
>> I don't know what shot you are speaking of, where if I can sit in the
>> back of a table then I do my shot there.
>> Either in the tummy or the arm.
>> This is one of the reasons why I would love to be able to do the dex com.
>> Where if it is to much I will have to do the stick thing.
>> If you can make sure you drink lots of water.
>> 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.
>> They usually give raisons and brown sugar.
>> 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.
>> They say eat something every four hours.
>> A small snack anything like that.
>> I hope this helps.
