Changes to BG at altitude

@EricH was there Thursday night through Sunday afternoon. We had wondered if acclimatization would occur if we remained longer.

@CarolynA I came across a couple of people’s stories while reading recently, and one of them mentioned that he switched to wearing bibs in the snow to keep his pump and infusion set warm enough to function. And another mentioned batteries not functioning at low temps. If you were doing MDI, it would seem as if the interior pockets on baselayers would be a good place to store the insulin so it didn’t freeze. There have been a couple of at home trials folks here on FUD have done on freezing insulin and overheated insulin you might like to read, as well as one on traveling with insulin.

Sounds like you’re having tons of fun adventures! Very exciting!
