  If you’re spending the day at a pool or beach, do you take extra precautions with your CGM or insulin pump?
  I am pretty pool adverse, so Ivanswered “no.” Also, when I do go to a pool, it is generally within a couple miles from where I am staying, so I can obtain supplies fairly quickly.

  I answered 'other' as I generally do not go to pools or beaches.

  I'm not sure that I understand the question. I believe that I am a member by the fact that I receive emails from T1D exchange, and am able to sign in daily. I also completed the annual questionnaire.

  The Omnipod 5 and Dexcom sensor are both able to get wet but I do dry them both off when I get out of the water. I always make sure that I use the overlay patch on the sensor.. I always bring my blood sugar test kit with me wherever I go in case a mishap happens.

  While exercising, have you tried a 10-second sprint to raise your glucose level? Share your tips and tricks to raise your glucose level during exercise.
  I've never done it myself, but have read about it in the PEAK study in adults. They studied cyclists. The idea behind sprinting to raise bg levels is that the exercise becomes anaerobic rather than aerobic, thus raising glucose levels. However, I believe the sprint was more like 10 minutes rather than 10 seconds.

  Does walking dogs every day, several days a week in the garden, landscaping count? While I don't do "real" exercise I keep busy and active.

  I’ve done this and it works as long as it’s at the beginning of a run. It’s a great way to quickly bring sugars up if you’re starting out below your target, but I wouldn’t try it with sugars below 100mg/dl. I recall growing up with the term “fartleks ” being used for similar training sprints.

  "Sprint" isn't the right word for me. Load-bearing hard push exercises will raise my b.s., like pushing hard on an uphill hike, legs pumping, heart rate high. Or a gym workout that is almost no cardio can raise bs by the end. But if cardio is also in the mix, I often don't see the rise

  I put ‘No’ and should have put ‘Never heard this could raise blood sugar’. I have experienced bg levels climbing with different kinds of exercise. Ha! I don’t know what would classify as a sprint for a 70 year old with marginal knees. Walk and walk fast is what I do. Usually the bg would rise with weight lifting or something like yoga but that can vary, too. So many variables for a statement like that in the question for me to absolutely rely on in a situation where my bg is dropping fast. I look forward to the days of ways of giving small amounts of glucagon to elevate bg to safe and ideal levels rather than having to feed insulin.

  I use the treadmill in our basement five or six days a week for 45 to 60 minutes. I do stretching and weigh lifting (very light weights) three days a week. 67 Years T1

  Not only have I never heard of it, but I don't believe it. I have been a runner most of my life. I occasionally do sprints while working out. Sprinting lowers my blood glucose, it does not raise it.

  My husband and I go for long walks (3 - 5 miles), and when I feel I am starting to drop I will do a 10-second sprint. My glucose level does seem to go up slightly, but I have found that I still drop unless I continue to do the sprints for the rest of our walk. So, while it helps to get me to a spot where I can safely sit down and treat a low, I wouldn't recommend it for long-term control.

  I have also never heard of this as a technique for raising glucose levels when exercising. I wonder if the thought process behind it is a short sprint might activate the sympathetic nervous system? Interesting.
