I hope your daughter enjoyed her summer activities even though the school would not let her go on the trip due to her diabetes. The following is a hiking adventure from a teen with Type1. Not associated with school but if they need to see that young people with Type1 can manage, here’s an example! > [@T1D and Hiking](https://forum.breakthrought1d.org/t/t1d-and-hiking/73067/24): > > Thought I’d leave an update here and say thanks to everyone for the awesome tips and advice! > > My blood sugar did great- I planned for far more lows than I had. My fav low snack was the dried mango I’d brought. > A 60% temp basal for the duration of the trip worked really well for me. I also reduced my I:C ratio and that worked like a charm to avoid the post meal dips caused by insulin and exercise hitting at the same time. I was steady between 140-180 for most of the time (with some peaks and valleys in between 😉). It was such a gift to be able to not focus as much on my bgs and instead enjoy the nature and hanging out with my friends! > > Solar charger was a great way to go. I was able to carb count for majority of the meals using the CalorieKing app (all of the apps data is downloaded so it works when off grid). > On the last day of the trip as we were heading back my dex decided to quit so I had to swap out my sensor. I was glad I’d brought an extra! > > On the first day we ran into a guy who also has T1D! I rarely see T1D’s in public, but this random guy on our isolated route in the middle of the practically nowhere had a Medtronic pump in his pocket. Hes had T1D for 50+ years and told me that he was a guide in the Sierras for many years. It was so fun and encouraging to run into him. > > Anyways thanks for all the help @joe @wadawabbit @gmershon and especially @spdif. It made such a difference in my confidence in tackling this trip. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.breakthrought1d.org/t/school-issue/72831)._
