Diabetes has NEVER stopped me. Heck, last summer I did an all day canoeing experience. At lunch I realized my BG meter (and all my other electronics besides my pump) were wet and my meter wouldn't work. At that point most would call an emergency and not continue the rest of the day. I still had 6 hours of vigorous activity to complete. Well, I just gave my insulin for lunch and continued on. Then ate a normal dinner and when I got home to test I was around 350 I think. Did I worry? Nope, and I can't wait till do it again this summer. I now know how to properly pack my electronics, lol.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
