[QUOTE="WHM, post: 1794328, member: 211428"] Hi Rusne Well done I am a type 1 and last summer I hiked the first 140 miles of the Pennine Way combining camping and B&B. I am a pump user which made diabetes management easier, I reduced my basal rates by 50% on hiking days and a little less on rest days. I also used a Freestyle Libre for the 2 weeks on the trail, so much easier than trying to fingerprick in the cold and frequent rain, the directional arrow was extremely useful in planning carb intake. Kept the reader in a sealed plastic bag to keep the rain out. No reason why type 1 diabetics shouldn’t fully experience the joy of the wonderful footpaths that Britain has in abundance. In my experience you just need to plan in more detail than the average non diabetic. [/QUOTE]
