Hi, all! I'm going to be making my first trip back soon (in almost a decade!) to the land of Mickey. Since I was twelve and non-diabetic then, I had a lot of leeway in what I put into my body. Now that I'm in my ninth year of Type I (I was diagnosed the year after), I want to make sure that I eat right while also having the best time. Does anyone have any advice on what's affordable and not too unhealthy in the Park? When I used to go with my parents and siblings, prior to the Sad Day (aka my diagnosis), we'd stop and get one of those overpriced burgers, but, nowadays, that's a no-no. I remember the junior bacon cheeseburger I had at Wendy's last week. It tasted really good, but, an hour later, I was feeling all kinds of awful. I usually take really good care of my blood sugars (requiring only two 10-unit insulin injections per day) and only go out for fast food once a week. Since fast food is mainly what's going to be available there, I don't want to have a hyperglycemic episode that'll ruin my day. So any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, does anyone have tips on carrying insulin, testing supplies, and a glucometer? I don't want to be lugging a small bag or backpack with me from ride to ride, you see. And pushing the pause button on the fun just to travel back to the parking lot is out of the question. I'll be going with friends, too, so the least that my diabetes interferes with their overall time, the better. All my thanks for any wisdom you can give me!
