Going Out

Hi! My husband and I are planning on spending the day away from home tomorrow and I was wondering how you handle managing your testing while out and about? I’ll easily be able to go to the car and do a finger prick when needed so I’m not worried about that, I’m thinking more so about eating. Do you bring snacks with you while you’re out? How do you manage bigger meals like lunch or do you just go longer stretches without a full meal?

If you stop and grab food (not necessarily fast food but at restaurants in general), what are your go-to menu items?

I don’t think we’ll be gone for a ridiculous amount of time. Maybe 4-6 hours and there will be lots of walking involved, so I think I might get lucky being able to burn off some sugar, but not sure.

This will be my first time going out for a full day since being diagnosed and I feel like there’s a lot of pressure on me to keep things under control now that I’m seeing a MFM doctor, so any tips/tricks, whatever you got, please share! :)
