Are there any tips for a person with type 1 insulin dependent diabetes that would like to explore nature?

Q: I am 30, and have been Type 1 insulin dependent for 22 years. I’d like to do things I’ve never done, such as camping. Does anyone know of any resources, or advice, that would help in this goal of mine? Those with experience are very valuable. Yes, besides being slightly over weight I am in good shape.

A: As a fellow diabetic and avid outdoors person myself I will just share with you what I have done for myself over the years. It is never a bad idea to take someone with you, but if you choose not to always make sure someone has a way of knowing where your at and the expected amount of time your to be gone. Regardless if your on a serious hike, or just have taken a long walk in the woods. It important that someone can locate you, and plus being diabetic you should also remember a few more things. I personally have horses and go for trail rides that are miles long. Before I ever began doing these I talked to my doctor about adjusting my insulin dose to avoid hypoglycemia, however now that Im on the pump it has made life much easier (not sure if that is the case for yourself). When your outside enjoying yourself you dont want to have to worry about spending the entire time on low blood sugarsMy advice would be to just pack a hike pack as I do; I include extra insulin, syringes/pump supplies, glucose meter/test strips. (Make sure you have enough test strips so you dont run out on your hike). I also always carry glucose tablets, with simple snacks like peanut butter crackers and trail mix. Also a bottle of water and gatorade are good too!One more bit of advice is to make sure you have on comfortable boots/shoes so you dont get blisters. You know us diabetics can have a lot of feet problems! Lastly, remember to carry identification with you that states you have diabetes. Have fun, its a great activity that keeps your body healthy.

Alternative Therapies for Type 1(insulin dependent) Diabetes.?

Q: I’ve had type 1 (insulin dependent) Diabetes for almost 10 years and I was wondering if any one had information on alternative therapies. I understand they are doing Islet of Langerhans Transplants in UK, but does anyone have any personal stories or good site to explore the alternatives.

A: Islet cell transplantation is not alternative medicine. Alternative medicine is alternative because it has not been proved to work, or it has been proved not to work. The same goes for its safety.Conventional medicine diagnosed and has treated your diabetes for 10 years, I don’t recommend you turn your back on it and go alternative now.http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=400#more-400
