Hello everyone:

I am making a guide with practical information for foreigners with diabetes that go to Spain.Here I want to collect from bureaucratic information (thanks to those who have already helped me on this subject), medical and also linguistics (here I mean diabetes related to diabetes [eg: hypo, strips, etc.] and phrases [eg:"I need to eat", "I'm low", etc.]).

The guide is almost finished and I invite you to give me ideas to finish it.If something occurs to you or you have some idea, thanks for sharing it with me.
By the way, I do not receive any economic competition for this, I simply do it to make life easier for some diabetics.

Thank you so much.

Before, Merck had a website where you could download diverse information:

But now you can't download, I don't know why ...

On this website you can download a PDF with a medical history format so that doctors (or whoever) ask the patient: www.fundacionndiabetes.org yes you haveTranslated his short film by Carol has diabetes, to several languages

But is the guide in Spanish?
If, give us an index, we can think of something that can be missing ... I don't know ... if not, I would think of so many things to put ...
By the way, it seems like a lame initiative ... very good ...

It's great Lola!I wish in the rest of the countries they did the same ... Sweety is right, give us some index or something to know what is missing and so we can help you.Although the issue of bombs is occurring to me right now, do you also include it?

Thank you very much for the Owash Links, as always your very good information.

The Lestá guide focused on both people who go on vacation and people who are going to live in Spain.It is in a foreign language and in it and including things like useful phrases, translations of material (glucosport, strips, catheter, ball, review, etc.) where to get the material, information about the SS, such as moving from mg/dl to mmol/l ...

I did it for a friend with a diabetic son who is going to live in Spain, but I found my endo very good idea to share it with other patients who are going to live in Spain or on vacation.I still have to organize the information a bit so if you have ideas ... welcome.
