[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1149343, member: 196557"] When I went to uni I was advised to get a mini-fridge for my room to keep my insulin in, rather than keeping it in a communal fridge. It means you have easier access to it, plus you know it hasn't been taken out and left somewhere while someone cools their beer down! Given the different way the health service works in America, I'd suggest making sure he knows how to get hold of supplies in an emergency, e.g. if he loses his bag with all his kit in or something. It's unlikely but better to be prepared! It might be worth posting a duplicate message with a different title too - something like 'advice for T1 going/moving to America'? - it will probably be noticed by some people over there then that may have useful advice. That way you've covered the 'uni' aspect and the 'new country' aspect of your worries. [/QUOTE]
