Hi everyone!
I am going to Download festival this year with my partner and some good friends. I used to live with the friends so they know my danger signs and have helped to deal with my hypos. Been with my partner for 6 years so he knows the drill.
First festival i've been to, i know to expect a lot of mud and not a lot of sleep. I'm taking no valuables and i'm buying a bumbag to carry around my testing kit, injections, needles, glucotabs, money and phone in. I know we'll probably get separated a lot in the crowd. We'll be on our feet most of the day, making it a lot more active than my normal day, so i'm debating reducing my Tresiba. I do NOT want a hypo when certain bands (KISS and Iron Maiden are headliners) are on. Before we set off i will be getting fresh injections out of the fridge, including spares for my bumbag. I am not leaving insulin and needles in the tent where anyone can get at them.
We are getting the coach down for 5 nights. Any other advice would be much appreciated!
