The 180 days is a nice feature for sure! Best of luck in the journey ahead for you! I'd be curious how the battery charging works out or causes any super big frustration!

Right back at you Goldfish!!

👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks Jim! I'll be posting a more full in depth edit that will include more dialogue about my experience with T1D while on trail. It really comes down to the fact that while I was out living in the woods for 6+ months I had the best management experience of my T1D ever in my life! I miss it every day now!

Thanks!

Hahaha! They seemed disturbed enough!

You know it!! 😍

Glad you're here and following along Jim!!

Thanks dude!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Glad to have you here Low Dose!! 👊🏻👊🏻 It's definitely a learning curve until your body starts understanding what your doing to it and why! I feel each day it gets better!

Enjoy my friend! I hope you get all the sunshine like I had!! 🤘🏻👊🏻

Thanks Sara!

More to come as soon as I get a chance to edit and upload the next sections!

Thanks dude! The pump & beetus is getting better with each day out here on trail!

I'm just glad I woke up prior to getting soaked! If that's the worst that happens I'll be doing great out here! 🤣

More to come!

🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻👊🏻 I know it dude and I appreciate every last one of you!!

You bet!

Thank you! Will do!

So stoked to finally be doing it! Thanks for all the feedback heading into it!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks for following!! 🤘👊👊

I love the Farm To Summit Slaw! So tasty! Let's hope I don't get tired of it fast! lol

👊🏻👊🏻

Haha 🫡

Thanks Jim. Sounds like a good plan. I switched back to Anthem this year for health insurance. One benefit is CVS is in contract with them so filling scripts through them is easy. There are several CVS along the trail so that could possibly be an option for you. If you are in Central OH we should definitely link up sometime.

Glad to have you here and following along Eric! Big hug to you, your family and most definitely your son!! 👊🏻👊🏻💪🏻💪🏻💙💙

Thanks Jim! Glad to have you here! I'll share as many nuggets of helpful T1D info/tips that I can as I travel north! Be sure to reach out as questions arise for you! There's definitely a lot to think about & think through!

DJ, Talked to my Endo and she mentioned another patient she has who did the appalachian trail. He had trouble with sweating which caused his dexcom to fall off and opted not use it. I got an idea about covering it up. I found some bands on Amazon that are specifically for covering multiple type sensors. Have you experienced any issues like this with your sensors? Any thoughts? PS: I’m pushing my hike to 2025, broke my ankle last summer and I think I need another year to build it back up. Thanks again for this channel.

@@jimsjourney6514 Hey Jim, yup that is a good concern to have! Here is the combo that works well for me. I try to make sure my skin is somewhat clean prior to putting on a new Dex sensor. Then I use Skin Prep a wipe you can grab on Amazon and I wipe down the back of my arm where I plan to put the Dex. I then wait like :30sec before installing the new sensor. My skin is extra tacky by doing that. I then add a Simipatch adhesive patch overtop that is designed to use with the Dexcom sensors. It has the sensor cut out in the patch itself so it just goes over top the adhesive on the sensor. You could also use the Expression Med tape ones but they are more expensive. I only wear my Dex on my arms. I change arms with each sensor change. I personally have had zero issue with this set-up since I've been doing it this way and I sweat buckets!!! You could also add luko tape overtop as well as a third precaution!! Hope this helps!! I'll try to add some videos to address this when i'm on trail to give you a look of what the flow looks like in real life on trail!! -DJ

👍🏻👍🏻 Yeah it's a lot to think about. I'm sure I'll add more comments relating to the subject as the year progresses! Happy new year as well!! 🎉🎉

Thanks, welcome, and it's great to have you here Wanda!!

Thanks Crow! Glad to have you here!!
