      I usually take 2-3 times what I think I'll need.

      I always bring extra infusion sets and CGM sensors in case of accidental tear out. With Tandem pump, a charger is also essential. I forgot mine in my last weekend away. I use a Dexcom G6, so don't need to finger stick, but always bring my meter & strips just in case, and extra lancets as sometimes my non-diabetic family members like me to check their BG. I always take a vial and syringes in case of pump failure. For overnight trips also bring juice boxes/ glucose tabs and glucagon in case for lows. Hard to travel light as a T1D, especially with those GIANT Dexcom sensor inserters! 🧳🧳🧳

      Just did this and brought almost all of these things. Didn’t think to pack an extra transmitter tho. But, did have 3 ways of administering insulin, plus CGM and regular meter. So, I knew I was good. I choose “loaner pump” too but really it’s an old pump that still works. I actually had to use it the week before my trip for a pump failure emergency, so glad I have it.

      Having been a Boy Scout when I was young taught me to be prepared for anything. I tend to over pack for everything. So, I pack just about everything listed. However, I never considered taking one of my old insulin pumps. I'll consider it. But for a 7 day trip, I'm not sure. I guess it depend upon where I'm going.

      I was in Boston in 2013 when we were all confined to our hotels while they searched for the marathon bomber. I also remember 9/11 when planes were grounded. I never assume I can easily restock supplies and always take at least double the amount I'll need of everything including my backup pump. Fingers crossed that I never need it. I hope I could be one of the ones who share live saving stuff with anyone who gets caught without it.

      Ughhh the extra CGM sensor is the worst. It takes up an unnecessarily large amount of space.

      It is WAY TOO MUCH stuff to be prepared away from home. Generally, half my suitcase. And even more stuff if it is a two-week trip. You missed snacks and glucose tabs.

      I'm really surprised at the low percentages of people that take extra supplies. We don't carry an extra pump and haven't used one long enough to have old extras. But even though we are, in general, very light packers, we always make sure we have extra D-supplies, in case a sensor fails or is ripped off, a bottle of insulin gets damaged, etc. But it also depends on WHERE we are going. On an overseas trip of any length we'd always take an extra transmitter. But we'd be unlikely to take one on a domestic trip unless we were going for several weeks. We always take pens even on an overnight trip ever since my husband flew to NYC on a day trip with some buddies, his pump failed, he had not brought pens for back-up and his BG soared! I see the burden of carrying extra supplies as the price to pay for insurance that nothing will actually fail.

      I take twice as much pods, CGM supplies as I know I will need. It is a pain to carry all that junk but necessary. We never know when a pod or sensor will fail. I also take syringes just in case my pump fails which it never has in the almost three decades I have used one. I also carry a few Baqsimi just in case I have a severe low. I carry more insulin than I know I will need since I broke a bottle once when overseas and almost ran out on another foreign trip.

      A while back I went to the UK for a choir tour. I had just acquired a CGM, a G4 Platinum, specifically as a safety measure for the trip. I don't bring second meter any more, but this was before the Dexcom was trusted for bolusing, so I was still meter-dependent and felt I needed an extra just in case. As it turned out I DID need it, but not for myself. There was another, newly dx'd, T1 on the trip and she lost her meter when she left her bag on the bus or some such. So I was able to come to the rescue. It was possible to buy a replacement of course but European/Brit ones are calibrated in moles rather than mL so that was still a glitch--she used mine for the remainder of the trip.

      I agree that it depends on where the trip is. My decision point is how long would it take to get replacement supplies and what are the effects of a delay. I’m MDI Tresiba which lasts >24 hours, which significantly reduces the urgency to replace background insulin. For NYC, I brought nothing extra. For my trip to a third world country- I brought one, and only one, extra of each supply including a CGM receiver. Dexcom wasn’t available where I went and I worried if something happened to my phone, I wouldn’t be able to download the software if I bought a replacement phone.

      I’m pretty confidant because even before I counted net grams carb and having Dexcom 6, I’d hiked to Lake 22 (easy) & gone over Valhalla Pass (difficult), easily climbed Mt Si’s haystack twice, and Mt Adams and traversed crevasses on Mt Rainier, and after all that now have Dexcom 6. I’ve weight lifted since age 15, achieved Dr. Cooper’s weekly 30 aerobic points by swimming and jogging, credits to my father and brother. Did you know 90 year old women in parts of Russia and Ukraine grow gardens? Kale, Mustard Greens, Collards are really easy to grow.. Use straw, not hay, as mulch to discourage slugs, snail#.

        I remember it was Cooper’s 5BX or 10BX booklet. That started me exercising in 1971. I keep detailed records of walking distance. Have walked around world once (in total miles, not actually) and and half way to doing it again. 🎶

      I am going to continue all activities and exercise that I want to do. Not letting diabetes rule my life. I like biking, hiking, walking, resistance training, yard work, and more. I do wear a Dexcom g6 and carry carbs. I take the usual precautions but I am willing to take risks that add enjoyment to my life.

      *as long as I’m wearing sunblock/UPF clothing, or I’m not in the sun at all. Sunlight raises my glucose and causes insulin resistance. Summers are difficult, but it happens even in winter. My Drs have no explanation.

      I am on a Dexcom and CIQ. I find the exercise mode plus only covering half the carbs and juicing as needed works for low level activity like walking and yard work, or putting up Christmas lights, which is a 4 day project with a lot of moving ladders and climbing ladders.

      This is one of the more difficult, but most interesting questions to answer. I’ve considered myself to be an athlete my entire life (since a child of age 7). Until recently, I’ve always struggled to maintain a comfortable blood glucose level while exercising. My most frequent exercise is running. But, I often bike and walk. Over the years, I’ve done many sports. I always carried lots of juices, honey, granola bars, fresh fruit, etc. In the past 30 years gastroparesis has further complicated my ability to maintain my blood sugar levels. Within the past year, with the advice of my Endocrinologist, I discovered THE MISSING LINK, *protein*. I started drinking V8 Protein drinks, as well as eating eggbeaters, and greek yogurt, which is high in protein. I now am able to maintain comfortable glucose levels throughout all of my runs, bike rides, walks, etc. The protein keeps my blood sugars from dropping off a cliff while I’m working out, or working in the yard. I feel like I have a new lease on life, and the ability to do activities that I used to limit because of drastic blood sugar drops.

      The only one I didn’t check that I do is long arduous hikes. It is difficult to get it right. I haven’t done one since I have had Control iQ. Most of my long walks now are on a beach or in town. As soon as I start doing inclines my bs will drop quickly so I have to of course premeditate and prepare accordingly. Reduce basal insulin before or eat carbs. I find the timing of it to be difficult.

      Any exercise will help lower my blood sugar. I do a variety of them, like a stationary bike, walking, playing pickle ball, stretching depending on time and opportunity. Of course, for anything I do I have to figure out how it affects my sugar levels. But whatever I do helps.

      He figure skates on Saturday mornings. Lesson followed by practice, then 45 minutes of off-ice training. Impact happens hours later!

      As the G6 has taught me, I can’t predict how my BG levels will act during the same exercise. Sometimes it drops over a 100 within 3 miles of a walk, sometimes it climbs over 50 on the same span. Almost always it climbs over 50 after the end of exercise. The endo at OHSU just shrugs and says’ “Oh well – that’s just the way it goes”. Pretty frustrating

        If your BG is over 250 at the start of exercise the exercise will actually increase your BG.

      Still find the need to ‘carb up’ even with walking or gardening. Usually eat 1/2 of a fiber/protein bar prior to my walk to keep bg in a good range when exercise is completed

        Raking leaves and pulling weeds really seem to lower my blood sugar which seems weird since both of those activities seem so mild, but just like a short walk, my blood sugar can really get lowered quickly.

      Walking (it’s hilly where I live), cycling, yoga, household chores and gardening – although gardening seems to be a more vigorous activity for me – I’ve gotten figured out over the post year or so, but then, like all things related to diabetes, it changed. Easier to re-establish than it was to establish though.

      Most exercise drives me low. Even ControlIQ in exercise mode doesn’t prevent it. Always need to bring snacks. I read somewhere that those who do not exercise often are more prone to lows during exercise. Guilty! I work long hours at my desk. Need to make a point to exercise more and have carbs at the ready.

      I try to not have more than .5 unit of active IOB. I also have a profile I call golf. It is set to .1 unit/hr. I have the sensitivity set to 250 so it won’t bolus. It really has helped during golfing and while doing cardio. This works for me. I’m 68 and work out frequently.

      With Loop, I use custom overrides to temporarily adjust my insulin needs for different types of activities/situations. For instance, if I’m going kayaking or hiking, I click the corresponding override, which decreases my overall insulin needs to 80% and raises my target correction range for five hours. This feature usually keeps me in range, avoiding a low. However, it’s all about timing – remembering to click my override 30-60 min before the activity. Examples of other overrides: site change, stressed, sick, conference, run, hot/cold.

      I go to a weekly low impact exercise class at the senior center. It is great.

      Cardio and strength training seems to lose my glucose levels so I usually like having a carb/protein snack like a low sugar protein bar or an apple prior to exercise just to raise it a bit as it will drop during exercising

      Other: Gentle stretching, tai chi movements, and low impact free style dancing to various kinds of music that I enjoy listening to.

      I put “other” as I am never positive that I am going to keep my sugar levels at a comfortable level. However, since I use a cgm and of course always have carbs with me, I can usually avoid going below 70 but I am never positive that I won’t go below 70. I almost always have to eat carbs to achieve that which is discouraging. Maybe I should have selected all of them?

      I answered “other” because it depends. (And I don’t do yoga, Pilates, aerobics or dancing.) I can do strenuous farm work or a 5-mile hike with no variables (100% in target range) but then drop precipitously during a moderate walk. It’s more planning ahead with slow acting carbs, with some slow acting carbs along the way if the activity is of a long duration, plus fast acting carbs if I see I’m about to drop. Plus a reduction of basal to almost zero.

      The question is phrased correctly, but ask the wrong question. What Your question will give you is a generic answer, that won’t help with the fundamental problem. You don’t care whether I golf, practice Tai Chi Chuan, or some variety of HIIT activity. You need to ask better grouping of questions, weight bearing vs. aerobic, Because the specific choices offered now won’t provide you a good pattern to work from

      It seems like I have tried everything: exercise mode, eating before exercising, suspending insulin/taking pump off altogether.. no matter what form of exercise I do, I drop low.

      At first I thought this was a trick question! I have trouble with any physical activity and keeping an adequate blood glucose level if I’m not constantly feeding it but I have figured out how to do all the activities I enjoy. It just takes a lot of work and planning.
