Does anyone know if first aid will have diabetic blood sugar testing supplies?
I'm willing to pay for the convenience of not having to lug my testing supplies with me.

Yes, they do, They used there to test my BG when my matter just read lo ( there read the same thing) but I would not rely on there as you never know when it will not be available.
I will add that the time another person was in there asking for them to test there BG and the nurse was far from happy to do this and made this know
That would be my guess too, but I could not think of how to state they might have it for emergency use only (I guess that would have been a good way to say it - LOL)My guess is that they are stocked for an emergency but not for regular guests coming in just so they don't have to carry their own supplies. People should be responsible and carry what they need. Then, if something happens, WDW has something for backup in case supplies are damaged, lost, etc.
Of course, if they were to charge for the supplies, that would be different? Do they charge?
They did not charge me and the nurse was pretty much like I want to use my metter to see if you are this low I did ask her a few question on how long they had them and if anyone could use it if need be but the only thing I remember is her saying with so many people with diabetes they though it was a good idea to have. Do not remover her other answer in my low brain.My guess is that they are stocked for an emergency but not for regular guests coming in just so they don't have to carry their own supplies.

They also have glucose gel for emorgincey use
Yes all they had was one meter and one thing of strips and a few lancet not much at allSounds like you were there with an issue - so that's a good thing that they checked you out. That's what I meant - they have stuff for an emergency, but they don't expect to supply all the guests who have diabetes. It would be like the child care centers being expected to have diapers for every baby in the park, for free. Or supplying sunscreen to the masses as well
