Are you able to manage your diabetes while engaged in prolonged
physical effort? Having a cell phone won't help you if you go into
shock and don't use the phone.
I had a diabetic friend in Dallas who scared the hell out of me one
day when he neglected his insulin while we were out to lunch. He
became very agreeable and acted almost drunk before I realized how
pale he looked and noticed the sweat on him. He didn't realize he was
having a problem until I asked him directly if he forgot his insulin.
Then he seemed to realize the state he was in and asked me to get him
a Coke real quick. I got him a soda and he layed down on the floor
for a while and was OK a few minutes later.
Be careful!
