My son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age two and is now 18. We've had many summers to learn how to navigate.

Introduction

Summer presents unique challenges. It’s wet, hot, sweaty, and often more active, meaning it can be difficult to keep gear such as insulin pump sites and CGM sensors from sliding off your body.

Luckily, after many summers at diabetes camp, in the pool, and by the ocean, I've learned what works.

My name is Stacey Simms. As a broadcaster with more than 20 years in local TV and radio, I share information and inspiration about type 1 diabetes (T1D) on my podcast, Diabetes Connections.

In this hack, I share my and my podcast listeners' top tips for keeping your technology where it belongs.
