[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1412380, member: 30007"] [USER=384035]@shann[/USER] As a festival veteran, using both pumps and MDI, it's much easier than you think. Key points are: Invest in Frio wallets to keep insulin cool Always carry your gear with you - don't leave it in the tent for someone to nick Take what you need, not excess. If you're going in a car, leave a small cool box in there with spare insulin and supplies. I've never really needed to take loads of snacks - just made sure I've got glucose tabs - there are usually tons of food outlets on site so you can treat quickly with tabs and then grab food from a variety of venues, but it doesn't hurt to have them. Brush up on your carb estimation - it's going to come in handy when you're eyeing up pie and chips or burger and chips after a few drinks. Practice your "testing whilst moshing" technique - don't want those test strips going everywhere.... Boardmasters is relatively small so there shouldn't be a huge amount of walking about the place. As [USER=180438]@Ann1982[/USER] has said though, just enjoy yourself. That's the most important thing. People aren't going to care about what you're doing to yourself. They are too busy enjoying themselves... [/QUOTE]
