In the bag, pack the glucose meter with extra batteries, testing strips, and capped lancets. Include enough insulin, glucagon, and other medications for the whole trip by packing double what you expect your child to use. Don't forget to throw in some carbohydrate-heavy snacks for low blood sugar. Some good snack choices are graham crackers, pretzels, and baked chips. Include fast-acting carbohydrates, such as glucose tablets, which raise your child's blood sugar quickly. Carry extra syringes if your child receives insulin by syringe instead of through an insulin pen. If your child is on a pump, carry a spare infusion set. Carry medications in their pharmacy bottles. Pack all medications and syringes in a clear bag to make them easy to see, and carry a prescription with you to get through airport security more quickly. While a prescription isn't necessary, it can make things go faster. If you are traveling across several time zones, that can wreak havoc with your child's medications. Talk to your child's doctor to put a plan of action in place to keep your child on a regular schedule. Before you travel, arrange for your child's healthcare provider to write a letter which briefly describes your child's diabetes treatment. This letter should include information about your child's insulin type and syringe size, any other medications they need, and any allergies or other important medical conditions. This letter may come in handy when going through airport security or if you need to seek medical assistance for your child over the course of your trip. Carry the bag on the plane with you rather than checking it in, as the insulin could freeze in the luggage hold. Plus, if you're traveling to a warm area, pack a cool pack with your child's insulin. If you're too hot, the insulin is likely too hot. Similarly, if you're going to an area with freezing temperatures, pack the insulin in a insulated container to prevent it from freezing. " If your child is old enough, teach them this phrase in English and any native languages at your travel destination. That way, if they get lost while abroad, your child can communicate their need to someone else. Other useful phrases to learn include "I need juice or sugar, please," and "I need a doctor." If your child is too young to learn how to say the phrase, write the phrase on piece of paper. Instruct your child to keep it in their pocket at all times so they can show it to someone if necessary. If possible, your child should wear a medical alert ID and carry their provider's emergency contact information in case you get separated. Search online to identify the nearby medical facilities you can use while on vacation. That way, if your child does have a problem, you know exactly where you can go. Having medical travel insurance for your child will be useful if they need hospitalization or equipment replaced while you're on vacation. Receiving medical treatment in a foreign country can be expensive, so it's best to be prepared. If you don't want to purchase medical travel insurance, at least call your insurance company to see what they cover when you're traveling.

High protein diets (sometimes paired with a low-carb diet) are popular for weight loss. However, they might not be appropriate for all people. Your doctor may be able to provide you with additional guidance or recommend alternatives that might be more appropriate for you. High protein diets may have some side effects. Immediate side effects may include: nutritional deficiencies, constipation and headache. Long-term side effects may include: increased risk for heart disease and decreased kidney function. A registered dietitian is a nutrition expert that may give you a more effective diet for weight loss or help you include healthy, lean sources of protein into your high-protein, meat-focused weight loss plan. Seeing a dietitian on a regular basis can also help with accountability. Visit the EatRight website and click on the orange "Find an Expert" button on the top right to search for a dietitian in your area. When you're trying to lose weight, even with a meat-based diet, it's crucial to have a nutritionally balanced meal plan. Writing down a few sample days can help you plan accordingly and help you to include a variety of foods and lean meats. Take a few hours of your free time to write up your meal plan. Include lean meat and protein in most or all of your meals. Also make sure to include a variety of fruits, vegetables, dairy and 100% whole grains (if you're including these in your diet). Consuming a variety of foods from each food group is essential for a balanced diet. Consider your lifestyle as well. If you're busy, on-the-go or have little time to cook, consider purchasing protein or meat that is pre-cooked or frozen for easier meals. In order to realize true weight loss benefits, stick to appropriate portion sizes-even with lean meat. Eating portions that are too large may results in excess calories and weight gain. One serving of protein is 3 4-oz. This is similar in size to the palm of your hand, a deck of cards, or a check book. Examples of appropriate protein servings include: 1 small chicken breast or 1/2 large breast, one or two eggs or 1/2 cup of beans.
