[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1512919, member: 410240"] Please if he is going up mountains or river canoeing etc put it in his rack sack, as it may take hours for help to arrive. With canoeing maybe even consider two encase a canoe is lost. It is bad enough dealing with someone without diabetes when they are in shock after a unplanned swim with ice hanging of the backs of all the canoes...... (There's the reason I had a 1l flask of hot sugar solution with me when I did canoeing in winter only had to use it 1 or 2 times a year.) =========================== Children have a greater surface area relative to volume and they also keep going until they drop if they are having fun, even if the fun is in 0 degree water with the air being -5c. As children while active also generate more heat, they overheat if they have a double wetsuits on (just as much of a health risk as being too cold). Add in a much increased level of adrenaline etc due to the activity, or unplanned spin trapped in a oversized washing machine – yet that what it feels like to be “swimming” in a [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9x4nDSLCgQ']stopper [/URL]at the bottom of a drop for example waiting for someone to get you out. As soon as the adrenaline start to drop it is common for [B]hypothermia [/B]to set in – the body can’t release BG fast enough to warm someone up by shivering. Get a hot sweet drink into them, and ideally get them into dry cloths in a preheated car and one on even thinks anything unexpected happened. Now think about how much can go wrong with the above if there is not a warmed car, or few miles to go before the exit from the river or someone has Type1 – [B]however greatest risk is when everyone thinks the risk has ended.[/B] [/QUOTE]
