Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
We are very experienced Disneyland visitors traveling from out of state for a quick 2.5 day trip. However my 11 year old daughter was just diagnosed with Type I Diabetes (December) so this aspect is very new. I impulsively booked this trip yesterday thinking it would be a great getaway and an encouragement for her ("see! You can still do all these fun things! No big deal!" etc) but last night I laid awake thinking about all the things I hadn't thought about before. Basically, this is new enough that I don't know what I don't know, including what to watch out for. Does anyone have advice for first time with T1D?
- we are going end of January, so weather should be cool-ish
-my daughter is otherwise very fit and healthy
-we don't have a continuous blood glucose monitor or pump yet
-use kwikpens for insulin
-it will just be the two of us, staying on property.
Again, thanks in advance for any advice.
