[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1768367"] I understand and agree. I would extend this to say that with type 1 diabetes, we don't need to plan much more than someone without; because I almost always carry the necessary paraphernalia with us, it stops feeling like planning. How many people plan to take their phone, keys, wallet, ... with them? This was bought home to me when I went kayaking down the Wye with my boyfriend. I had to plan to pack my diabetes kit. My boyfriend (who has no diabetes) has to plan to pack his hayfever stuff (nasal blaster, eye drops, tablets) and seasickness medicine*. We both had to plan to pack our sunscreen. Diabetes stuff comes with me wherever I go, whatever I do and wherever I do it. Sunscreen I have to think about because I don't need it for everything: I don't need sunscreen for a work meeting or a night out or a walk in the rain. *yes, I know the Wye is not the sea but this is a guy who got seasick in a pedalo :-) [/QUOTE]
