Excursion to Volunteer Point for a diabetic??

[dr alaok]

My wife and I are going to be in Stanley in November as part of a Holland America cruise. We would like to take the excursion to Volunteer Point. We are both in early 70's and in reasonably good health except for wife who is type I diabetic and wears an insulin pump. Can anyone advice whether or not it would be a good idea for her to go to VP? Like are there facilities (restrooms and restaurants) on Volunteer Point or on the road down? Perhaps there are diabetics out there that have made the trip and would like to chime in?

We are also planning on visiting Falkland Islands next Nov (8th) on the Westerdam.

 

In my research, I noticed you can visit Volunteer Point (and other places) by helicopter. As expected, it's relatively expensive, but an quick, easy way to do the tour.

GeorgeCharlie,

 

Thanks for the response.  I had never thought of doing the helicopter tour.  Even though it is more expensive I think it will be a great idea.
