TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE OF EXPLORING ALL 63 PARKS

Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I’m Crystal, your travelbetic bestie (that’s travel + diabetic, in case you were wondering).

When I was diagnosed with diabetes, I panicked. Suddenly, the trails I loved seemed risky. Questions raced through my mind: Can I hike safely, miles from civilization? How much weight is this going to add to my pack? Can my Dexcom come with me to the swimming hole? Will I need to have service for it to work?

After scouring the internet for a much-needed pick me up, what I came up with was disappointing. While there may be tons of travel blogs out there, almost none spoke to us.

That’s why I’m here.

This blog is part travel guide and part pep talk, for people like us who love the wild but have pancreases who’ve given up on life. I’m here to share everything I’ve learned (and am still learning) about exploring the outdoors with diabetes.

So whether you’re a newly diagnosed or a beginner hiker looking for tips to manage your blood sugar off the grid, you’re in the right place.
