What I Learned: Reliving the Holocaust

My trip to Washington, DC brought some unforgettable surprises with my Diabetes. Here are several important things that I learned from it:

1. Intense heat can play havoc on your sugar levels.

2. Eat small snacks in between a long delay of meals to keep you BG levels in check.

3. Wear a medic alert bracelet or necklace, it saved my life.

4. When not feeling 100 percent, tell someone.

5. Check your blood sugar with a glucose monitor frequently.

6. Don't walk across four lanes of traffic!

7. Now being older, I actually like Vermont quite a bit. It's a very peaceful place with great people and scenery. The skiing also rocks!
