Concerts?

[Geenadiabeater]

Hey everyone! So recently I went to see Bring Me the Horizon live but before I went in my sugars dropped to 2.8 or something ridiculous like that and I felt like going home. Obviously i didn't (they were incredible) but has this happened to anyone else before a concert? Another previous experience was not being allowed to take my lucozade in, which was pretty awful despite my complaints of being diabetic (the security guard gave no leeway took my bottle and said he'd keep it for when I need it.. came back from the show and he threw it.) Also because i'm on the pump has anybody figured out a way to protect your cannula? Because with all the people and jumping around you it does hurt like hell and I was wondering if you could protect it well?

It happens in my skating test my bloods whent crazy. The trick is to check your bloods every 30 mins and eat!!!!! If it doesn't help it is because of either nerves or excitement .

it is a bit of a worry wearing a pump in a really crowded environment..
as you will know before you go -- could you possibly put the cannula in your upper thigh ( inside)
and strap the actual pump inside something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Insulin-Waist-Pouch-Black/dp/B00GOT06D2

whenever i go to a concert i always take dextrose tabs as they will fit in a pocket
like these -- available at boots the chemist too https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lucozade-Energy-Tablets-Original-Glucose/dp/B0013G6NKQ
