Wilderness Camping for the Diabetic

Wilderness camping presents a definite challenge to the teen-age diabetic. For the past three years groups of juvenile diabetics sponsored by the Twin Cities Diabetes Association have ventured into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. Accompanied by a trail guide and a physician, these young men have learned to live with their diabetes under extreme circumstances. Their camping and medical supplies are discussed as well as their exchange lists and dietary management.
