[Gocamino] Diabetes; new Camino book; video

[Roy Draggoo]

Thanks for the great information. I am interested in receiving the  
translated articles concerning diabetes life on the Camino. I have been  
insulin dependent for 20 years and plan on walking the Camino from St.  
Pied to Santiago in mid-June '07. Any information concerning blood  
sugar control, needle disposal, food choices, footwear, keeping insulin  
cool, etc. would be much appreciated.
