Hi everyone,
I don't know if this is the right place to post, so apologies if not! I'm getting married next year and keep thinking about how my diabetes is going to impact my day. We're getting married in Italy (so heat and lots of carbs!).
I've been type 1 for 20 years, manage using insulin injections. Control is pretty good, last HBA1C was 56 mmol/mol. I usually use libre sensors, though am certain I will swap back to blood tests for the weekend, so testing will be less frequent and more effort than normal. I'm worried about lows during the day, how to carry around my kit, and blood from injections getting on my dress!
Can anyone share their experience of managing their diabetes on their wedding day, or have any tips?
