Inside Beach + Resort Diabetes Playbook

  • The full guide, read online as a book, always current as new issues land
  • Six short videos to share before or during the trip, added after launch. Everyone who bought earlier gets each one, and the price goes to $50 once all six are in.
  • An overview deck that walks the whole trip in one sitting, for the planning talk at the kitchen table.
  • One-page team cards for how your travelers talk and work together: a before-we-leave huddle card, a who-does-what card, a card for when something goes wrong, and one card per issue.
  • Printable checklists: packing, an emergency protocol, and a partner discussion guide.
  • A 6x9 paperback for the bag, with the team cards, checklists and emergency protocol each on its own page. It comes after the online guide.

A beach week asks the insulin to arrive still worth using, the sensor to stay on through sunscreen and sweat, and the pump to handle the pool. Then comes a buffet you did not cook and cannot see the recipe for, and numbers moving in the heat for reasons you cannot see. The guide covers what your devices are rated for in water and what to do when supplies are ruined or two hours away.

Heat and water move the numbers while everyone is relaxing, so someone keeps watching without spoiling the day. The team cards set who keeps watching and how to check in discreetly at the pool.
