It seems that whenever I go on any kind of vacation without my parents something happens and I wind up forgetting something or I don't have something with me.
Example:
I went down the shore (to the beach) with my friend, her mom and my soon-to-be college roomate (friends friend).
Anyway...I get there and I go to check my blood sugars andd what do I find? I only have SIX strips in that vial. Not to worry, I have more, right? WRONG!!!
I totally forgot to bring extras with me. I rememberd to bring extras of everything else though, didn't I?
I don't know how I forgot them...they are SO important.
So I called my mom and told her what happened and you know what I told her?
I said to her "Mom, don't worry. I have enough to check once a day while I'm down here." I was there for 5 days. I know, I know. Not the smartest thing on my part.
So she and my dad drive 2 1/5 hours in rush hour traffic to drop off my test strips and drive all the way home. She did that for me last summer when my blood sugars went up to almost 500 and they had to put me on Humalog.
So suffice to say...I really love my mom and I don't know what I would do without her.
Oh...and don't forget to make sure that you have enough diabetes supplies when going on vacation!
