Partying With Type 1 Diabetes: Drinking, Dancing, and Staying Safe
Carson and Tini discuss strategies for nights out: packing low snacks and protein (Glow gummies, GoMacro bars, meat sticks, juice), eating and hydrating before leaving, aiming for slightly higher starting blood sugars, using pump activity mode to raise targets and reduce basal when dancing, and bolusing less for sugary cocktails while often not bolusing for hard seltzers. They describe how alcohol and dancing can cause lows, how low symptoms can mimic being drunk, and the need to eat after the bar and plan for late-night or next-day insulin sensitivity. Tini shares becoming sober after appendicitis and health anxiety, still going out with soda water or gardening drinks, and they emphasize safe experimentation and self-compassion.
