Traveling With Diabetes Just Got Easier
Many diabetics are reluctant to travel for fear of running into problems with their diabetes. They worry about finding a doctor, losing their medication and more. Being able to ask for help in the local language makes a huge difference.
Toronto, Canada - January 24, 2006. Traveling in a country where you don\'t know the language can actually be fun, and bring its own kind of adventure. But when you have a diabetic emergency, it\'s a different story.
Losing your medication, having your insulin spoil because of extreme temperatures, waiting too long between meals, needing to correct a sudden drop in your blood sugar: all these are potentially dangerous situations for a diabetic. If you don\'t know how to ask for help, your trip can turn deadly. When you need to find a doctor, or get directions to the nearest hospital, or even just buy some hard sugar candies, don\'t count on the locals to speak English.
Bob Fleming, a diabetic who does everything he can to lessen the impact diabetes makes on his life, has compiled a list of things you might need to say to get help in these and other circumstances, and had them translated into eight different foreign languages - Spanish, German, French, Norwegian, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Italian and Portuguese. You can find these, as well as other tips for traveling with diabetes, on his web site at http://www.TheDiabetesInfoPlace.com
Fleming also offers a free weekly diabetic dessert recipe to subscribers at his web site.
