I'm CR1 Beneficiary. I was wondering if there's any diabetic or hypoglycemic (who must carry glucose or snacks all times in order to avoid low blood sugar), as I read the Medical examination and interview time and the embassy can take hours, Are we allowed to bring glucose or snacks and also bring a CGM (Continuous glucose Monitor) inserted in the arm? Or it would be an issue that could affect my medical examination? I'm sure there are many diabetics on a CR1 visa process and we all know that when we crash we must eat -ingest glucose or we can pass out. No one should ever leave low blood sugar unattended.

Even without insulin intake a diabetic can have sudden hypoglycemia. Food is mandatory and the CGM sensor is vital and can not remove it.
