travelling with a person with diabetes

[debbie mccormack]

good morning
does anyone know a publication / leaflet I can print out to give to fellow travellers travelling with my son (type 1)
they have never been with him before and I need them to be aware of what to look out for hypo symptoms and treatments etc.
They are going skiing to France for a week = 4 x 19 year olds

There are plenty to choose from if you google diabetes leaflets and anything in PDF format is more printer friendly.

Hi,

Personally,a comprehensive briefing/chat would be a little more personal than handing out leaflets.. It would give everyone a chance to bond on the adventure...

That's not to say your son shouldn't carry a little information about his person regarding his Diabetes & medication whilst involved in this sort of activity..
Preferably in French??

I wish him a great time!!

Thanks I have found something and we are talking to them all en route to the airport.
He also has some cards in his ski pockets in French and English outlining his condition.
Many thanks
