I have been diving and I’m going on another dive trip in about 9 days. I find that I’m generally fine with diving because my body is without insulin for only 40 - 50 mins. Your tank runs out, you come up, test your blood, drink some water and go for dive 2. I test my blood about 30 mins before I go for my 1st dive just to make sure I’m not low nor really high. I do prefer to be above 115 that way I know I will be fine [even if i drop a bit]. I have a slight suspicion that my blood drops while diving, but I’m not 100% sure on that. The biggest concern you should have about diving is that you’re low and either you or your dive buddy aren’t able to catch any of the low signs. Sometimes I have a slight struggle with my blood after the dives are complete because of being without insulin, but i will gladly struggle with a 200 blood sugar than be low 90’+ underwater.
I have never heard of the underwater glucometer. I would be curious to see how far down it can go. I assume it’s a CGM because i can’t see how you can prick your skin and get blood out on a strip underwater. At least they are trying to accommodate us T1s. That’s a good feeling.
Are you certified?
