The Hidden Disability Thing Sucks #DiabetesLinkup

So I'm diabetic and traveling. That's a pain in itself.  I have to haul a CPAP machine, insulin, infusion set, and the rest of the diabetes stuff, even for an overnight trip.  Makes for a big heavy bag.

And then I bring the service dog, which you would think immediately scream "I have a disability".  It also adds to the bag, especially since I have a late night flight and I always plan for airline screw ups.

Nope, at home, the people that work out at the gym think I'm training her for someone else.

The good news: American Airline personnel have been great.  Both the flight attendants and their mobility staff.  And yes, I caught the captain flirting with her, which is all good.

But, probably my fault — they give me the furtherest room from the elevator. Probably thinking she'll be quieter that way.

Oh, and the loudest noise we've heard from Dulce this trip: snoring.
