Having diabetes is not the end of the world. Diabetes can be controlled, only that our lives will be a little more complicated than before. Diabetes will not affect your participation in school-organized field trips, only that your parents should communicate with the teacher leading the trip in advance so that the teacher can help you monitor your blood sugar, inject insulin, adjust your insulin dose, and contact your parents when you are uncomfortable. Before you go, you should make sure you bring what you need, such as insulin, insulin pen, blood glucose meter, and food to prevent hypoglycemia (such as candy, glucose tablets or juice). Diabetes will also not prevent you from traveling with your family, but more planning arrangements need to be made. For example, you need to carry enough insulin for use during the trip; the place of accommodation needs to have a refrigerator to keep it. If you are traveling by air, you will need a medical certificate from your doctor, and airlines require medical certificates for people with diabetes who carry injection devices and insulin. Diabetes also does not prevent you from attending a party with friends. However, it is a good idea for your parents to communicate with the parents hosting the party in advance to provide some information about diabetes and to make suggestions about the diet and activities at the party. You can eat cake and dessert at the party, but not too much. The activities at the party will help you burn off some of your calories. After the party, before going to bed, and the next morning, you should monitor your blood glucose level, and you also need to adjust your insulin dose to ensure that your blood glucose level is under normal control. If you feel sick be sure to tell an adult!
