My daughter has T1D, and 'planning to snack before getting in line' isn't often reasonable. She has run from 285 to 40 within a half-hour, and lines at an amusement park can be quite a bit longer than that. If she starts the line at 285, she's not going to need a snack and will have treated before starting the line. Then, if we get into the line, waiting for a while and her blood sugar drops low, low, low because we misjudged, or because it's Tuesday (I don't know, BS does what it wants to sometimes with brittles), we can have a serious emergency and need to snack. Sometimes a glucose tab doesn't do it, or it makes you react just like the roller coaster you go up and down on. Sometimes 'planning' goes out the window when it comes to T1D as many of you all here know. I for one say get the
DAS pass. If your child (or yourself!) has had these issues, by all means, do what you need to do to make sure you/your child doesn't have a nightmare event because of an unpredictable disease. If it doesn't apply to you, no need to participate (lucky duck!). I hope that we would all be compassionate to those who deal with this dread disease and others who have a need for such aid.
