Im a type one and have been so for a few years my sugars are getting in more control, (170 average down from 250 a year or two). I would like to live in a rural area (i always have, by rural think towns of 2-300, 45-60 minutes to a hospital unless one is in town), but i have some concerns so was wondering how other rural diabetics manage (any rural area works). If i was not diabetic i would say alaska here i come. Even if i was a well managed type two i would consider it.
Some concerns are
-affording medication (rural areas have iffy job markets)
-rides to hospital(i only go due to ketones when i get sick if i cant stop vomiting, so 2-3 times a year)
I already live kinda rural, but there is a hospital next town over, so its not a allagash-fort kent ride.
More to be added as they come to mind.
I would not be relocating for a couple years, so by then i hope my average would be 80-120.
