[QUOTE="azure, post: 1276196, member: 39639"] Test beforehand and give her a snack if her BS is too low, then take the meter and glucose into the pool with you and put it near the pool. That's what I do and I've never had any problems. If anyone asks me (and that's only happened once in years of swimming) I just explain I have diabetes and need to keep my stuff nearby. I aim to be around 8 before swimming, but if your daughter is very active, I'd aim higher. There's a thread from a parent asking about swimming lessons somewhere here and I believe they reduced the bolus for the meal beforehand. Their child had started swimming lessons. [/QUOTE]
