Thanks for doing a video on this. Type one for 54 years and I hike so I understand what you are talking about and the precautions you take. In the winter time I put my meter in my pocket with a hand warmer to keep it out of the 14° weather. So far it’s worked great but only lasts 8 hours.

Thank you. Eating right can be a bit interesting when living with diabetes. The traditional camping food is so filled with carbs and sugars; who doesn't love smores? Lucky for us, we are not insulin dependent and just have to be a little careful. Nuts, home made jerky, dried fruit, meats and cheeses.

Always a challenge to wander the wilderness with insulin and a restrictive diet. Even my glucose meter stops working in a humid environment! Great to hear you don't eliminate wilderness excursions because of diabetes!

@virginia J Same for me. Is it not just the honneymoon phase still doing its thing?

Thanks for your tips. Didn't know that the testing maching had to be kept warm

Thanks so much! It was one of my early videos - not very energetic or polished. I'll probably re-do it with more updated info in a year or two!
