For a month now my travel buddy and I have been walking. We are both T1D. Every walk I go low, like low low. It doesn't seem to matter how much I eat before, I can't stay high. I have been making myself make my sugars go up twice my normal number in hopes of getting through the walk without my CGM freaking out half the walk and me eating snacks on the walk too.
So the reason I'm here; I am a well controlled diabetic, my A1Cs are excellent. I feel disappointed with myself that I might need something like DAS. It is only 70 degrees on the hottest day here yet, and there's always a breeze so I'm not even sweating that much. We go in August (I know I know). I have hats, and fans and cool towels but I don't know what to do. this will be my first theme park since I became diabetic years ago.
Is this something DAS can help with? I'm scared I'm going to spend my whole time consuming calories trying to keep my sugars up and becoming the *****iest travel buddy to be with (which is what I become if I'm low for an amount of time) and ruining my friend's first time to Disney (or the US for that matter).
Thanks for listening
