Diabetes Camp SWAG

It was like going to the Oscars or Emmys or a really cool awards show, where the famous scarf down freebies from the tent of excess..... Except, well, this was diabetes camp in the middle of nowhere, and everything was D-related, and there wasn't anyone famous, and well, yeah, it wasn't the Oscars, but it was kind of like a Diabetic after-party if you will.

Here is the SWAG we left with. It took a giant-ous (new word there) Accu-Chek bag to lug it to the car. Some of the stuff is just plain odd, but there was A LOT of it. It was already pre-packaged in the giantous bag for us. When we got home I unpacked it and...

Ta daaa..........

4 backpacks

3 giant-ous Accu-Chek bags

2 medical waste red cans

1 beltbag

3 decks of 'Deckabetes'

2 camp lanterns

2 sets of binoculars

1 box of alcohol wipes

1 Mancala game (nice, but what???)

1 frisbee

1 Taking Diabetes to School book

1 water bottle

2 Diabetes bracelets

1 Contour meter

2 logbooks

2 pedometers

1 can of Butter Buds (huh?)

                                                 

Does Butter Buds scream diabetes? I've never even had them and not sure that they are all that occurring in nature, so I think I shall be re-gifting these to someone else. Nice they gave them to us, but literally everyone was walking around saying 'Why did they give me Butter Buds?' That was pretty funny.

Now I feel famous, getting a SWAG bag and all.....
