Tip of the Week:
As the weather warms and kids start dreaming about long summer days, parents of children with diabetes know there are some challenges in their not too distant future. It isn’t easy keeping blood sugar numbers stabilized during long days at an amusement park or water park.
Check out these tips about amusement parks and find more like these in the HealthSims Type 1 Diabetes training course.
Long ago I learned that some parks have special passes for people with medical conditions. These passes make it possible for my daughter to not wait in line for a very long time. You should check with the park when you arrive to see if they have something similar. - Lisa, mother of a 15 year old with diabetes
Disney is great about helping people with type 1 diabetes. My nephew got a guest assistance pass so he didn’t have to wait in long lines in the sun with his insulin pump. They also had a very nice first aid station. - Pennie, aunt of a type 1 diabetic
