Creator's Key Takeaways

First, you should ask for a sharps container to make sure that you can place all your needles in the correct location, and they will take care of it for you.

You should definitely ask for a refrigerator. And that one's important because a lot of folks assume that the things in their stateaterooms are refrigerators, but they're not.

You cannot buy it on the ship, but sometimes when you're on land, you are able to go in thearmacies and get some.

So, if you wake up in the middle of the night, 2:30 a.m., blood sugar is low, you need some food. You're not going to be able to find it on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ask for a sharps container in advance.
Request a refrigerator for your stateroom.
Bring your insulin and know you can buy it cheaper in some countries.
Keep snacks in your stateroom for low blood sugar at night.
