My dad has diabetes, which is very difficult to control under normal circumstances. If we must evacuate during a disaster, how can we control his diet and insulin?

Everyone needs to be prepared for emergencies, but a person with diabetes has additional issues to consider. When establishing your disaster preparation kit, include a seven-day supply of diabetic foods and a seven-day supply of medications and testing equipment.
