Diabetic Travel Tales and Tips, Adventures from Around the World

Diabetes op vakantie - Diabetic Travel Tales and Tips, is a thin little volume that could almost pass as a collection of blog entries. The author, Marilyn Garcia is a Stanford and Yale grad who has had Type 1 for over 40 years. She has also traveled all over the world. Marilyn sketches out 17 different diabetic travel adventures in about 3-5 pages each -- everything from "the cat ate my pump" to chasing your ricocheting syringe around the airplane restroom during turbulence. Although some of the stories are a little light on the diabetes lessons, I still think this one would make a charming gift for that special diabetic in your life who likes to travel -- or who perhaps hasn't yet dared to do so -- because it's funny, very down-to-earth, and offers some good lists and tips with real-world solutions to travel dilemmas. It will definitely build your confidence that you, too, can go anywhere and do just about anything with your diabetes in tow.
