Hot Sun and Sandy Toes :)

Hello! About two weeks ago, my family and I went on a vacation to Hawaii! We stayed in Honolulu, Oahu. And the best part was that I didn't have one single high or low blood sugar!!! It was paradise. Even though diet and exercise don't cure type one diabetes, they definitely help regulate our blood sugars. And believe me, I got plenty of exercise. My blood sugar was AMAZING, my pump sites never came off in the water, my dexcom never failed me, and I had a great time! Although, whenever I changed my pump site, I would find sand under the adhesive. Anyway, a couple of things my family did were going to the beach, eat malasadas from Leanord's (a donut shop), snorkeling, souvenir shopping, eating at DELICIOUS restaurants, and my favorite was the Polynesian Cultural Center. A the very beginning, our tour guide gave us each a lei, and told us to not put it on. Then, he told us to find someone in the group to give your lei to (not a family member). When we did so, we had to talk to the person and tell them about ourselves. My partner was a sweet older man. And through out the whole tour, we talked to each other and did a few things together. He was very nice. We watched an awesome movie that would get us wet or shake our seats (depending on what part the movie was at). We then saw people from all different types of Hawaiin cultures, and my favorite was New Zealand. After that, we played a few games, went to an AMAZING luau, and watched a really cool dance/play called The Breath of Life. Overall, it was a thrilling vacation!
