Alyssa's Journey with Type 1 Diabetes





An outlet, a diary of sorts, a place for thoughts, a place to connect,
an expression of feelings about Juvenile Diabetes......

Airport Security

The start of this trip reminded me of the Griswalds..... We were an airport security train wreck. I was so concerned with letting security know about Alyssa's diabetes supplies that forgot to remind her to remove her laptop from her bag and to toss her bottled water. So that was a little hold up...

I packed all of Alyssa's supplies in a little bag cooler. Inside was also a 4-pack of juice boxes and the security officer told me they needed to be less than 3oz umm no...4oz is 15 grams of carbs. I cleared it all up, she swabbed the juice and after running everything back through the scanner, we were on our way.

Overall, not too bad for Alyssa's first time flying since diagnosis. I'll be better on the return flight!

Getting ready for vacation

We are nearly packed for vacation. This is Alyssa's first time flying since her diagnosis. I got a letter from her endocrinologist and packed double the supplies we will need for the week long trip. I'll let you all know how it goes on Wednesday :) This afternoon, we even had time to hit the nail shop... Key West here we come!
