Hi everyone! I wanted to touch on a subject that I don't think I have seen on the boards. I am a diabetic and in normal life I have a hard time controlling it. (not insulin dependent, yet) However when I am at Disney it's easier to handle. I know all diabetics are different, but for me I find that because Disney is not a stressful place for me and all of the walking we do my sugar is easier to control and I NEVER gain weight at Disney.
There are times when I become drained and that is when I have to stop and rest and have a small snack so I can keep going. (I am a park open to park close kind of girl. My Disney passion knows no boundaries!) I also find that I can have a few things that I normally wouldn't not eat, like Dole whip or an extra serving of mashed potatoes at Crystal Palace, or that delicious juice at Tusker House.
For me being a Disney Diabetic is not as challenging at it is here in the north east. (one day I hope to move to FL and be in the parks as much as possible)
So how do other diabetics handle the parks? Do you find it easier to control like I do or is it more difficult for you? Let's hear from some Disney Diabetics and your strategies for controlling your sugar while at Disney.
Have a great day everyone!
