Hi All
My son who is 9 is doing the swim 22 challenge with myself. All is going good apart from the other night when he had a hypo during swimming (only diagnosed T1 in November!)
For those swimming I am just wondering for guidance on what to feed them and how long before swimming? Should I give him a high carb meal about an hour before hand and take off 50% insulin? and then a snack bar before getting into the pool?!
Help needed please!
