Visiting Canyons with Type 1 diabetes
Our take
Hey everyone! I'm super excited to visit Arizona next month, especially the stunning Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon! As a Type 1 diabetic, I have to keep sugary snacks and my medication on hand at all times. I’ve heard that both canyons have restrictions on food and bags, but I'm curious if there are any exceptions for medical needs. My tour guide suggested leaving my supplies in the van, but that won’t work for me since hypos can happen quickly.
Hi everyone, I will be visiting Arizona next month and I’m planning to go to both the Grand Canyon and the Antelope Canyon. I’m Type 1 diabetic, which means I will need to have some kind of sugary food or drink with me at all times, as well as my medication. Looks like both canyons don’t allow food or bags, but does anyone know if they make exceptions for medical reasons? I couldn’t find anything helpful online, and my tour guide basically said I can leave the stuff in the van while we do the tour, but that’s not possible for me as hypos can happen really fast and are potentially lethal.
Anyone Type ones that have been?
