Ok...So this friday i am leaving with my youth group to go to a weekend camp we call Lake Ann. I am going to be in a room with 6 other high school girls and a leader too. My brother will be there too but i dont think that i will see/ be around him much cause i be will my friends hanging out. My friends do kown that I am a diabetic. and they do have a rule at lake ann that you have to be with someone at all times. i like that cause i be hanging out with 2 guys and a girl. so there 4 of us in the group but we dont have a room right next to each other. I will most always have my bag with me that has my bible and note book in it for church. But what do i do if i dont have it will be like i go the shop they have there just to hang out or something and i go low what do i do than? I kown that maybe i dont need to warrier but i always warrier something is going to go warng but i will be with my best friend and my boyfriend and his best friend so maybe i dont have anything to warried about.
Can you not carry a purse/small bag with you with your kit and a small snack/glucose tabs? I don't see why you couldn't do something similar when you guys go hang out at the shop. You don't need to bring your notebook and stuff, so it doesn't need to be a big bag at all.
When I was your age, I always just carried a small bag with my needles, my kit and some sugar packets or something. Unless I was just going out quickly to the grocery store with my mom or brother..I ALWAYS had the bag on me. Even today, I rarely leave my apartment or the office without my purse with my kits in it.
Ya i think what i will do is take a smaller puse so when i got to the shop i can take my stuff with me.
Make sure to test a lot... sometimes a different schedule/excitement can cause unexpected lows. Bring twice as many supplies and twice as many glucose tablets and snacks as you think you'll need.
You'll be totally fine and have a great time.
Jenna, I kown i will be fine i just warrier about these things when i go some place were i will not be around my mom and dad. But i will have my brother there with me but idk if we will ever see each other just when we eat and for church most of the time i will be with my boyfriend and his friend and my best friend. The youth paster and his wife will be there and most likey watch after me. But so will my boyfriend and everyone there too. Thanks Jenna I really like the advice i will be back on sunday night sometime so i'll let everyone kown how Snow Camp want.
Hey sweetie!
I would definately take something small just to keep your things in. Don't be embarrased of it, for all everyone knows it has tampons and other lady related things in it, so just take it along with you and keep it just in case by you at all times. I would let your youth pastor and his wife also know if they dont about your Diabetes and instruct them what to do if you have a severe low. I worry a lot too, I think it's just a part of having this illness, but the good thing is we can still go out and do everything that "normal" people can, we just have to be a little extra careful.
Have a wonderful time, I will be praying for you :)
