      When you experience an illness that makes your blood glucose levels more difficult to manage (whether because you are unable to eat, the stress of being sick, or any other reason), what resources do you refer to for help managing your blood glucose levels while sick? Please select all that apply to you.
      Only "illness" that makes it really difficult to control my blood sugar is getting steroid injections into my cervical spine or fingers. I leave my basal rate on my pump at 250% and need much higher bolus doses and many "extra" doses if my blood sugar remains really high. I tell the MD's that it turns my insulin into tap water and try to avoid it, experience with having gotten these injections over the past few years has helped, but having blood sugars of 400-500 despite much higher basal and bolus dosing is so frustrating!

      When I had surgery last year and couldn't exercise for a few months, my time-in-range was very good. I was shocked but I shouldn't have been as exercise is one of the things that make my diabetes harder to keep under control. During recovery, I didn't have the ups-n-downs in blood sugar that I usually have when I exercise.

      When I did drive a car, I had sugar or candy in glove compartment, in addition to sugar in pants and coat pockets. I also have sugar cubes in my backpack. Never had an accident due to low bg, but once felt a very low bg on a ten day solo drive. I parked ASAP, and took care of it. Being on an unusually regular meal/injection/sleep/exercise routine can result in low bg I’ve learned. It’s like punished for doing everything right. 😔

      YES !! I [sweet charlie] have stopped driving and I am almost 90 years old now and because of AMD.. I keep G tablets in my Daughters car since she drives me.. When in my 20’s I kept candy in a plastic bag tucked in my swim suit when underwater spear fishing.

      Yes, candy in car, candy in purse, candy beside the bed, candy in the kitchen. I don’t care for glucose tabs as they taste like saw dust in my mouth. You have to keep what you enjoy and like for lows. I have chocolate milk in the refrig too because I like chocolate milk and it does have nutrition as well as sugar.

        Don’t you find that the chocolate milk is kind of slow-acting? But don’t get me wrong, I sometimes use chocolate ice cream and wait it out, if only a little bit low.

        I always have wondered how men carry supplies if they don’t carry a purse. My hubby totes my supplies around in my purse backpack, which has a wallet, keys and all of my diabetes “just in case” stuff.

      No. It is too hot most of the year where I live to keep something in my car; not to mention bugs etc. But, I carry a backpack everywhere I go. I don’t get into the car without my backpack. I always have a bottle of honey with me. I usually pack a banana, and almost always have tried pineapples, granola bars and rice cakes.

        I answered no for the same reasons you list. I always have a purse or a backpack or some kind of satchel with glucose gummies and granola bars. Never leave home without them.

      I always carry a roll of Lifesavers in my pocket whereever I go. But in my car I also have two 6 oz cans of Dole pineapple juice which works great for me. Yes, in the summer I have to worry a little about heat but typically run through a can or two every week or so and therefore haven’t had any issues.

      Yes, three small apple juice boxes fit in my middle console tray. Right next to me when I need to pull one out. I also keep glucose tabs in my purse but that would be way too difficult to get to when I’m driving. I have the straw-in-juice-box thing established while driving.

      I said yes for keeping low sugar treatment in my car but that’s not really a feasible thing when you have such variables in temperature. I always have stuff in the car because I always carry fruit snacks in my purse everywhere I go.

      Always! I used to keep a small juice box, but they would get overly warm. Now I carry rolls of smarties. They won’t spoil, they are melt into your mouth sugar, and are way tastier than glucose tabs!

        Same as Jodi Greenfield – Smarties are the best and work quickly. If my CGM starts heading down, I pop a couple and I’m good to go. Thankfully it rarely happens when driving.

      I said yes, but it’s a yes on a technicality since I don’t usually keep low treatments in my vehicle, but I do always have treatments with me in my vehicle for lows in my pockets in my clothing so if I’m in my vehicle there are low treatments as long as I’m wearing my clothing when I enter the vehicle.

        I recommend packets of sugar in the raw. Never rot, melt, freeze. Perfect size. I use 2 for lows, can add more if converting an active drop. FREE at every coffee house and convenience store! More palatable than white sugar.

      yes….

      During early years I had too many close calls and accidents …
      I was so concerned with being hyper that I typically over compensated and ended up as hypo šŸ™
      Those days are long gone and glad of it!
      Now I’m on a TSlim X2 & Dexcom G6 and happier than ever.
      Though it’s not considered acceptable such as Orange Juice, I will usually keep a can of soda (12 teaspoons of sugar in 12 oz roughly)
      Reason being….it usually doesn’t freeze unless we have a real cold snap….and if it bakes in the sun….I don’t care….as long as it works!

      I never understood the purpose of glucose tablets; they take way to long to act…and I usually need like a pack of them for any movement.
      But I know my metabolism is different than most

      When I drove I always had glucose tabs, pkgs of peanut butter/cracker combos available on the driver’s side door. Coat/jacket pockets always have Starburst or glucose tabs in them. Now that I’m no longer driving I keep a tube of glucose tabs in family car. Glucose tabs work slowly, but will survive the wide temperature changes that occur over the year.

      I said no for two reasons:
      1) I don’t drive as much as I used to, so the car I’m in is usually someone else’s, and
      2) I carry them on my person. I keep a 50 tablet glucose tablet bottle on me at all times in a bag… plus, I have a small 10 tube one in my purse along with a breakfast bar or two. (Although the BBs may not be considered fast enough, they have proteins that can be helpful later on.)

      I would worry a great deal about the bugs who might find their way into my car because of keeping anything in it! This happened to a friend of mine who left her car in a parking lot when she went out of town. The ants that swarmed her car were… ugh… icky! It’s a phobia of mine and I may never forget it!

      I have stuff in my purse and emergency backpack that goes with me everywhere away from home so I don’t leave things in the car to attract unwanted insects or critters!

      There is little or no room in the glove compartments of our two cars, and since I am in them very seldom, I keep my glucose in both my purse and backpack at all times. Also, we have temperature extremes here that would preclude most food based low sugar fixes. In fact, I had marshmallows in the house this winter, I keep the house at 69 degrees F, and the marshmallows managed to melt. So now I am using glucose based candies and tablets, both of which have survived heat and freezing temperatures on my travels. But I carry them on me whilst traveling.

        I recommend packets of sugar in the raw. Never rot, melt, freeze. Perfect size. I use 2 for lows, can add more if converting an active drop. FREE at every coffee house and convenience store! More palatable than white sugar.

      It’s always on my person so I don’t need more in the car

      Living in a seasonal state with extreme swings in temperature throughout the year, I have found a container of Jelly Belly’s in my center console works best. With an easy to remove lid, provides instant access when my Dexcom starts screaming

      Yes, but that’s because my low treatment is in the insulin & testing kit I keep attached to my body whenever I go out. I can’t imagine not always have supplies with me in earthquake country.

      Not necessarily in my vehicle
      , but in my bag of supplies that is always with me. I would never go in my car without my supplies!

      No, I never leave home without a tube of Glucose tabs in my pocket, along with several in my cars.

      I think that most of all who carry Smarties, Raw sugar e.g., forget that stuff still has to be digested and turned into Glucose. So, Glucose tabs are all ready to go to work.

      I carry a bag with me that has iinsulin pump supplies, CGM change, insulin, glucose monitor, and candy, to meet all needs as they might arise. I carry this bag with me almost 100% of the time. I guess you could call it a man purse.
