We put together a family team for a JDRF walk and have about 50 people walking with us. I wasn’t sure if we are supposed to supply the food and drinks for our walkers or if JDRF provides all that. We’ll be walking this Saturday, November 14 so I’ll need an answer pretty soon. Thanks!
Do I Need To Bring Food And Drinks For My Team To A Walk To Cure Diabetes?

When the city I live in has a diabetic walk, there are stops during the walks for low blood sugar, and orange juice and soda is provided. I would question the organization, especially since diabetics participate in the walk. Better to be safe, than sorry. Best of luck.

That is a wonderful achievement! I am excited for you! I wish I had the experience of knowing for sure if they supply the food and drink or if you need to provide it yourself – however, I use this rule of thumb, if you are diabetic, you never leave anything for chance, bring a little cooler of things that will help you get through the day…
You could contact the people who organized this event to find out for sure if there will be refreshment provided – I bet that is part of the plan, as I went on a walkathon, and the sponsors provided sandwiches and cool drinks-
Thanks for doing what you are doing -
