© Lisa BrooksIn 2010, I traveled part of New Zealand in an RV. I came home wanting one, and finally made it happen in 2015! At the time, the biggest reason for the decision was difficulty traveling with food allergies. Shortly after buying it, my son was diagnosed with Type 1. Now the inside looks like a grocery store and a pharmacy!
That title sounds daunting even as I write it. But I’m here to tell you: you can travel with food allergies and Type 1 diabetes. It took me awhile to wrap my head around traveling anyway. We started small and worked our way into being more comfortable incorporating adventure into our lives.
If you’re like me, you’re on the go all the time. I often feel like a sherpa with the supply backpack: carrying diabetes and allergy supplies along with allergen-free food. Many of our medications have temperature requirements and storing them on the go used to be a challenge. Enter FRÍO® Cooling Cases.
I love Waze for navigation. It recommends routes based on traffic patterns, allows me to opt for carpool/HOV choices, and alerts me to road hazards. Beyond that, a new feature allows you to set a reminder to check for your kid upon arrival.
