Tips for diabetics?
This will be my 9th Jazzfest I'll be attending, but I'm also bringing my girlfriend with me. It will be her first time in NOLA, so I'm excited to show her around the fest and the city. She's a little anxious because she's a type 1 diabetic. Of course the lingering COVID risk is there, but honestly I think she's more worried about the humidity. I'm used to it (born and raised in Florida), but she very much isn't (born and raised in Wisconsin). She's decided to forego her normal insulin pump - it has a history of falling off due to sweat, so its too risky - and switch back to insulin pens for the week.
Anyone on here have tips for her, on where the best place to do insulin would be? I told her the Grandstand, but I can't remember if they have tables in there or not. She mainly needs a place to give herself insulin before eating.
Also, if there are any fellow diabetics on here, she wants to know any and all tips you might have for festing with T1D. I'm so excited to fest again, and I want to put her mind at ease as much as possible. Thanks in advance!
