Hi all,
We are navigating a very new chapter in our lives. My dh was recently diagnosed with diabetes and we are undergoing genetic testing for more answers. He has started new medications and is wearing a CGM. I know this group has a lot of different folks on here and was wondering what your best tips are for navigating the parks with diabetes. We're not even sure if his sensor can go through the x-ray scanner? We've always brought water but is juice okay too? We have heard there can be issues with temperature regulation, but again, brand new to this and haven't been in extreme heat yet. Generally, we are a bit all over the place right now and wondering how this impacts our park experience and any tips veterans have for keeping DH safe and healthy when he visits now. Also, any info on getting carb counts on food would be helpful. Thanks everyone!
