We’ve got two ‘pool’ type holidays this year and I’m dreading it.
It’s just a nightmare with the taking the pump on and and off to go in the pool. I end up with random high blood sugars and not able to eat anything.
I’m only going because my husband wants to and my children. We usually only go abroad once at most each year but this year we are going again with all my husband’s family which will be a trial in itself, let alone if I’m running high all the time. They don’t get it at all. My mil just refers to her friend who is a t2 and not on insulin and says ‘well my friend goes in the pool and has no bother’.
Any advice on how to manage? I’ve tried taking the insulin I’ve missed when I reconnect but it still results in extremely unpredictable and choppy sugars.
I have to go in because my children go in and my three year old obviously can’t go in on her own.
I find the whole thing a trial - something else diabetes ruins.
