LA Times Review

Traveling with diabetes can be a challenge. To help, Los Angeles attorney Marilyn L. Garcia, who has insulin-dependent diabetes has written "Diabetic Travel Tales and Tips." It's not the typical don't-forget-your-insulin-supplies guide. Instead, Garcia and other diabetics write about traveling despite having the disease. "I tried to make it fun and practical," Garcia says. "As a diabetic, I'd gotten into a lot of scrapes that were amusing and I survived." The book also contains practical information, such as adjusting insulin doses to changes in time zones, dealing with airport security, scheduling meals and buying medicine at foreign destinations.
