You can leave health items with the first aid center that you won’t need frequently. Anything you need on a regular basis carry with you in a sling bag/backpack/fanny pack.
Contact the sit down restaurants you have ADRs for in advance so that they can prepare special meals for you. Guest Relations will have a special form for you to fill out and will forward you menus marked with items that are OK for you to eat.

Are you on an insulin pump? If so, adjust your basal rate to about 70% of normal to allow for your walking around and check yourself periodically to see if that’s doing the trick. Their food is similar to other fast food stuff, so bolus accordingly.
If you’re not on a pump, just bring a bottle and syringes (you can use each one multiple times as long as you use them just on yourself). Your bottle won’t need refrigeration for the one day as long as you keep it in your purse or pack. And of course keep some hard candy with you for possible lows – Skittles are my favorite, 17 of them are a perfect 15g of carb.
Keep your meter with you and check your BG every 2 hours and adjust as necessary.
Vacations will make your BG’s fluctuate more than normal, so the trick is to just keep a close eye on what they are doing so you can correct as quickly as possible. Try not to worry much about it and just enjoy.

Disney and diabetes didn’t cause any problems for my family. We had a small lunch bag that we had supplies in. We all took turns carrying the bag. Diabetes at Disney wasn’t any different that diabetes at home for my family. Just be sure to have snacks in case of lows, and keep your glucose meter with you.

What stress?
Just take your meter, insulin and snacks. Ta-daa…
Beware of the heat, send my sugars funny.
Keep your insulin and meter in a purse, and carry it with you all the time.
Keep a couple of chocolate bars / carb snacks.
You’ll be absolutely fine.
There really doesn’t need to be stress from this.

Drink loads of water because you will be walking/swimming a lot.
Use sunscreen.
Carry extra carbs always.
Take rest periods even if you don’t feel like it. Even a half hour laying on a beach chair will help.
Have your family plan as much as they can ahead of time.Including where you will eat.Buy several travel books that will help you plan your stay.
You can eat all foods so there is no reason you have to have special foods made.
Count your carbs.
You should be able to fit anything you need in a small backpack.
Have a great time.
Chocolate is not a good choice to carry as it never raises blood sugar fast enough due to the fat and the florida sun won’t be kind to chocolate.

You’re probably fine and I agree how do you know you have sensitive blood sugar?

How do you know you’ve had “sensitive blood sugar” since you were young? Have you been monitoring your glucose? If so, you should be well aware of your values and know if they are abnormal. Only a professional can diagnose you. If you are so concerned, please seek professional help.

It seemed like it happened pretty fast for me. I felt fine then over the course of a couple of months, I started showing all the classic symptoms of IDDM. I was diagnosed at age 24 and I have been on insulin since day one. I use a pump.
My diabetes was traced to a pancreatic injury that occurred in a car accident a few years before. My pancreas more or less failed within a week of the first symptoms. Oh well.
It does sound like that you have hypoglycemia more than it does diabetes. You need to see your doctor. Good luck.

it does develop pretty gradually….usually in type 1 it can sit dormant for many years, until something in your environment shoots it off.
thats the theory anyways.
the symptoms usually show up right away. you should reaaally go back to the doctor and get some tests done, specifically a hemoglobin A1C test.
the best of luck to you
