Kate recaps her time at Electric Forest, a 4 day music festival in Michigan. She goes over her packing list and how she managed her blood sugar with all the walking and heat.
Top take aways from the trip:
-Bring lots of candy for frequent lows while walking. Make sure the candy won't melt in your bag. A plastic wrapping around it will be much better, my starburst and mambas melted.
-Make sure to have a portable charger for your pump.
-Be careful with sunscreen and your dexcom. It can crack if sunscreen gets on it.
-Get a small cooler for your insulin and bring ice packs.
-Activity mode on my pump was helpful in preventing some lows for me
-Get practical over patches for your sites like Skingrip. Helps a ton with the heat, sweating, etc.
