What Leighton Rockafellow does may not interest me at this time in my life, but I love reading about how he has found his edge and it offers inspiration and the mechanics to figuring out how to “live with diabetes”. 

Ultimately, what happened to Tyler Hill in Japan is an example of trusting a system to do the work.  When I talked to my mother about it she said, “Absolutely no way would you have gone!” My mother saw what Asia had done to one healthy child and her concerns were based on experience and that’s hard to push past.  I believe that you can’t rely on organized systems for travel.  You must travel with your own emergency itinerary to protect yourself.  Additionally, if you have done your own homework  and are traveling with a group, hopefully there are two systems in place to guarantee a successful and fulfilling trip!
