[QUOTE="pien1, post: 1192688, member: 106071"] Here we go, finished my 1 st Camino just a few weeks ago. Walked the Portuguese from Porto, 2 days coast, then central, then espiritual to Santiago. Been on Insulin pump, followed my healthcare providers recommendations by lowering basal rates, changing insulin carb ratios, keep pump in exercise mode for entire time. This worked well, my bloodsugar levels were a little higher than normal but that was what we wanted.usually during night I would go down to normal levels. Food was challenging, as they love the white bread......would go with this in morning for breakfast but stayed away from pasta, rice dishes. Usually would have a protein filled salad around 1400/1500 and yoghurt or something small for tea. always had yoghurt or milk on hand, apple or orange as a snack.tried to be sensible. This all worked for me. doubted the freshness of my insulin in a Frio cooling kit on last days, but pharmacies are well supplied with single use pens if you need fresh insulin, vials of insulin are hard to come by Good luck to everyone bon camino [/QUOTE]
