How To Stay Alive In The Backcountry With Diabetes

Being diabetic doesn't have to stop you from enjoying time in the backcountry. In this video, Paul Kemper a Type 1 diabetic, explains how he manages his diabetes and what type of gear he brings. From specific supplies to quick sugar choices, Paul does a "diabetic bag dump" for the backcountry hunter. He brings foods like oatmeal, bars, energy chews, gummy bears, specific backpacking meals, and meat sticks. Spending significant time away from the truck can be intimidating, even for a friend going with someone who is diabetic. Paul recommends training in a way that allows you to see how your body reacts to these foods as well as the vigorous exercise. From glucose monitors, to insulin, managing this disease requires a bit more forethought, but if you're prepared and smart it doesn't have to keep you from enjoying the outdoors. ** MERCH!: https://bit.ly/2qtvRAC Use promo code: RANDY for $50 store credit in the goHUNT gear shop when you sign up for the goHUNT INSIDER service OR 10% https://bit.ly/2E9YEyM Use promo code: RANDY to get a free pair of gaiters when you order boots. www.kenetrek.com/pages/randy Use promo code: RANDY at checkout for 15% off Rocky Mountain Hunting Calls https://bit.ly/2KGMZvX Use promo code: RANDY at checkout for 15% off Gerber Gear https://bit.ly/2qhG53K RANDY'S GO-TO GEAR: Mystery Ranch Metcalf: https://bit.ly/3doJ4AH Sitka Jetstream: https://bit.ly/2Nmu4bI Leupold Spotting Scope: https://bit.ly/3drOGtU Watch on Amazon: https://amazon.com/v/randy Download Episodes: http://randynewberg.vhx.tv/ Instagram:   / randynewberghunter   Facebook:   / randynewberg   Forum: https://www.HuntTalk.com Website: http://www.RandyNewberg.com Twitter:   / randynewberg
