Looks like it's time for @CarlyWanderlust to go back to experiencing Colombia! Thanks to all for your questions #type1backpacking

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@kaitwoods31 Don't overthink it, just go. You will be fine - travellers and T1's are both adaptable people #type1backpacking

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

Does anyone have any more questions for Carly about her backpacking adventures? #type1backpacking

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@natashareddrop @t1dn Last year I traveled RTW for 9months and didn't keep anything refrigerated. It was all fine #type1backpacking

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

MT @CarlyWanderlust: ...asked her to call me in 1/2 hr time to make sure I was conscious. #type1backpacking” always have a backup plan!

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

Carly - do you have any hypo stories from your travels? #type1backpacking

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

@CarlyWanderlust @natashareddrop sounds amazing!

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@kaitwoods31 USA! There were all kinds of supplies in Walmarts, pharmacies - like 'diabetic fast acting candies' #type1backpacking

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

“@CarlyWanderlust: @natashareddrop @t1dn Is it bad if I say don't really test?!?!?! #type1backpacking” not at all 😉

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@natashareddrop @t1dn Test strips are something that I see in pharmacy's and don't need a script so I could buy easily #type1backpacking

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@kaitwoods31 @natashareddrop @t1dn I will never say anything at an airport. If they don't notice, I don't mention #type1backpacking

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@natashareddrop @t1dn #type1backpacking my insulin and some pen needles in carry-on and no other airport in the world has ever picked me up.

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@natashareddrop @t1dn #type1backpacking I have only ever been picked up by security in HK airport - 3 different times. I travel with all…

[The Wanderlust Days @CarlyWanderlust]

@kaitwoods31 @t1dn #type1backpacking Hi Kait, at the moment I am bringing everything with me. I have about 40 insulin vials, 700 pen needles

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

Carly is taking your questions now! Fire away! 🌍✈️ @CarlyWanderlust #type1backpacking

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

RT @CarlyWanderlust @natashareddrop @t1dn I'm on pens so I guess that's MDI (though I don't actually know what MDI means!) #type1backpacking

[Type1DiabetesNetwork @T1DN]

Better start thinking of some questions! @CarlyWanderlust is ready to go in Colombia and we start in 5 min #type1backpacking
