les, there is no reason that you can't continue to do what you have been doing

to control your sugars... most cruises have many dining options, so you will

have a wide variety of foods to chose from, they also can accommodate special

needs, you might have to contact the cruise line about that, and bring your

testing kit...lol, keep that with you plus any meds that you might need, and

when you get on board you can always check in with the ships Doctor for advice..

Enjoy your vacation, where you off too?

Not having any plans for vacation, which is just over a week away, I went and

booked a cruise today. Actually I found a great deal on the net. Decided,

found one, booked it, paid for it, and confirmed it all in an hour, including

a

hotel reservation for the night before.

OK, how do I handle my diabetes and control my BG on a cruise. I have been on

cruises before, this is our 4th, but this is the 1st one since being diagnosed

last February.

Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions on food intake? BTW, I am also trying to

lose

weight, just thought I'd throw that in.

We are going to Bermuda, where we spent our honeymoon, 36 years ago. Of

course if this is anything like the first time we were there I will be

seeing the ship's doctor. I wound up with the German measles on my

honeymoon!

This will be our 4th cruise, we have been to:

The Bahamas

New Brunswick and Nova Scotia

and last year Alaska.

Oh, No....lol, Les, stay away from anyone with red spots...lol, you don't want

that happening again...life as you know it isn't over just because you have

diabetes... you just have to make some changes in the way that you do things,

and now adays, it is nothing for a person with challenges to be able to access

things that use too they could not... just step away from the dessert bar, and

chose small portions, if you need too, bring your measuring cups and

scale...what ever it takes to allow you to enjoy your trip..

Thanks Carmen.

I have said numerous times, that if I had to have diabetes, this is probably

the best time to get it. With all of the low carb foods out there now, it

makes it a lot easier than it must have been in the past. I am sure I will

be able to work it out on the cruise, just have to watch myself all of the

time.

Normally it is fairly easuy for me, just hope I can do it on teh cruise.

Actually, I don't have a choice. I have to do it.
