Hi!

We're getting married next year and am looking for a honeymoon where we can take our son who was diagnosed 6 months ago. Lots of hotels have kids clubs and I was wondering if any of you had any experiences with these clubs, in terms of putting a diabetic child in. I don't want him to go in to one for the whole holiday but maybe the odd morning.

Thanks!
 
I have been since 3yr old & back in the time when care was not as good as it is now. How old is your son ? Congrats on wedding ! 🙂
 
Thanks Hobie. He's three and will still be three when/if we go which is turning out to be problematic because most clubs seem to start at four. Just not sure how it would work with his pump and snacks etc. If I have to pop in to do it then he may as well be with us the whole time!
 
I've not heard of any resorts geared up for this kind of thing - would be interested to know how you get on, if you find anywhere.
 
Could you phone all the major holiday companies, Thomsons, First Choice, Thomas Cook etc and ask them if they know of any hotels/complexes where a trained person is on site? Just a thought.
 
Thanks for all your suggestions. I emailed a couple of the comapanies yesterday to see what they say. I'll let you know when they reply although I'm pretty certain about what they will say.
