[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 881414, member: 30007"] Don't worry about it too much. I was at Download last weekend and walked 40 miles over the weekend. My Libre sensor had died so I did it on finger pricks and nothing else. The hardest thing was keeping the tech dry as these were the conditions: [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/20/0dc47e2349b6f2c4441cf58779224398.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/20/cbeea3987a546b204db5d4c75f7a3ac8.jpg[/IMG] It's easy enough to blood test by holding on to your meter, and realistically I would base your injections on your testing. You really don't want to be up in the middle of the night looking for somewhere to pee because you've halved your long acting and your bg is high (I've been there. You really don't). As long as you remember that you do need insulin with beer/cider and you guesstimate your foods it will help a lot. Most importantly, if it all becomes too hard, just make sure you take enough insulin to keep yourself in the 8-12 range and enjoy the festival. Four or five days at that level isn't going to kill you and it should mean you have a comfortable festival. [/QUOTE]
