On a Trip

Rules about food and insulin when you are on a trip.

On a Trip

When you are going on a trip, you have to follow the same rules about food and insulin as usual. You also need to make sure that you bring enough insulin and your blood sugar measuring kit. You must make sure that you have enough food and drinks for all your meals and snacks and some extra for emergencies.

If you are going on a school trip or staying over with your friends, it is important that your parents have told your teachers and your friend’s parents how to help you if it becomes necessary. It also important that they know what you should eat and that you have to eat more often than the other kids.

As long as you are careful you can go on all the same trips as everybody else.
