What do people do when they visit a water park.
How do you keep your supplies dry (CGM, test strips, PDM for omnipod, glucose tabs etc)
I guess you could put them in a locker but they would be really hot and secondly your locker could be a 15 minute walk away from where you are in case you need to test or something.
Should you carry them in a plastic bag with you on the rides or something?
hi Rich, the only thing i’ve ever found is a fanny pack. they make them in all types of materials that are waterproof. Hope this helps
I do leave them in a locker. All the lockers at the parks I’ve gone to are in covered shady areas that keep them cooler than if I had them with me.
Wouldn’t work for you (unless you feel like going a lil feminine for the day lol), but I buy a cheap little purse, seal my PDM, bottle of test strips, stabber, some tabs & some cash in a baggie which I then cram into the cheap purse, and carry that with me. I’ve also used lockers and as Kari said, they were always covered & shaded. The times when I used the lockers, I ran myself a touch high since I couldn’t test or treat on the fly…
You could get shorts with cargo pockets and seal your stuff in baggies and just pop them in the pockets…girls don’t really have that kind of option lol
I guess I could put it all in the locker. But any suggestions to carry around a CGM and keep it waterproof.
Put it in 2 ziplock bags and then in a pocket? I have used press and seal on my insulin pump…though I do switch back to my old pump when I do that, just in case.
All the water parks I’ve been to have like, common areas that you can leave stuff on beach chairs that aren’t too far away. I just leave it in a plastic bag out of the sun and put it under the chair with the rest of my party’s stuff. This is probably a little bit cavalier, but I always tell myself if somebody steals my diabetes supplies either they’re a diabetic in need or they have bigger problems with their life than I do, lol.
