The improved nutrition and regular exercise can alter your blood sugar behavior. For those guests who are diabetic, we recommend you pack the following:
-Twice the number of test strips and other testing supplies you normally use. You will want to check
your blood sugar frequently throughout the day.
-Extra glucose sources you can carry with you (i.e. tablets, gels--not extra food).
There are medical kits throughout the premises that contain glucose sources, but these are for emergencies, in case your personal supply is depleted.
Upon enrollment, you will receive a detailed letter that lists everything you should need. Our attire is very comfortable and informal, but you will need good supportive aerobic and walking shoes. Please do not bring jewelry or other valuables as we do not take responsibility for lost or stolen property.
