Hello! Any fellow Glastonbury goers out there? I've been several times over the years and was diagnosed type1 7 weeks ago. At the moment it all seems like it's going to be hard work, testing, injecting, trying not to go low, estimating carb content etc, all while in a possible muddy field! < prays for sunshine>
So, any top tips?
I want to be able to have a drink or 3 and have been advised to halve both my background and my rapid acting while there.
I only take .5 of a unit of levemir AM ( probably honeymooning at the moment) so will knock that off completely. My ratio seems to be around 1:20 normally, so does that mean I should work 1:40 while there? Bit confused!
We do have the luxury of an old caravan so if it all gets too much, I'll be in there listening to the hum from camper van East! But let's hope not!
Any advice, gratefully received as always,
Cheers.
