While he isn't a "thru hiker" he does to LONG, off trail trips.

Subject: [pct-l] Diabetes and insulin

I'm curious as to whether anyone has done a thruhike of the PCT with type I or 
II diabetes that is controlled by insulin.  I doubt any of you extraordinarily 
fit individuals have Type II, so it'll probably be mostly Type I diabetics.  I 
cannot figure out a way to safely carry, ship and store insulin, alcohol wipes 
and syringes along the whole route.  The risk of doing it wrong is pretty 
severe.
