Since we are taking diabetes with us, it refuses to stay home alone for some reason, we have a few more items that need to be packed. There will be extra test strips, the ketone meter, a few spare sets, extra insulin, spare cartridges, spare meter, glucagon, glucose tablets and some juice. Yes, people normally have juice in their fridge but when I am stumbling around in someone else's house at 3am, I like to have a quick source. I know, my friend Jen recently reminded me that we should have tablets for lows, but being the horrible parent that I am, I haven't had a chance to stock up the supplies. Yes, we have probably been low on tablets for at least two weeks and I have been to the pharmacy but I forget. There are tubes that are still full for travel and puberty has made low treatments few and far between so it wasn't a real emergency. On the upside, Jammers were recently on sale so I can grab a box to take with us.
I love going away. I love taking a break from the house, the office and the work that piles up on a daily basis. I love the fresh air and the change of scenery. I will enjoy spending time with my guys. I hate taking Diabetes with us. It is annoying and requires a suitcase of itself. I really wish it would learn to stay home by itself...or better yet take its own permanent vacation out of our house!
Ditto sistah! I would LOVE for "D" to vacation somewhere else...away from our family! HAVE FUN!!!!
