• Have you traveled to a theme park or resort recently? If so, please let us know how "diabetes friendly" it was. Important considerations include proximity to health care facilities and pharmacies, ready availability of food, enough rest rooms, as well as tolerance for diabetes care procedures. We'll be collecting reports and publishing a Traveling with Diabetes Report to help families with diabetes better plan their vacation destinations. Send your reports to info@childrenwithdiabetes.com.
