DAGC Dialogue
Helen M. Dumski, MA, RD, LD /President & CEO Finally, summer is just around the corner. For so many people, the warm weather means
picnics, outdoor sports and vacation plans. Those who have diabetes or who
live with someone who does know there is no vacation from
diabetes. Whether it's a day at the
neighborhood pool or a week-long vacation far from home, keeping diabetes in
check is always a priority. This,
however, doesn't mean that one cannot enjoy summertime activities and vacation
travel. The Diabetes Association of
Greater Cleveland offers tips on traveling with diabetes. You can see them now
by clicking here.
With some advance planning, there is no reason not to travel
and participate in your favorite activities.
Don't let diabetes hold you back from enjoying a wonderful summer. |
