Winter Tips
| |
 |
Cold weather can drain batteries quickly. Here are some strategies that might help:- Bring a fully-charged battery pack to keep your iPhone and Riley or Ema Link charged, or extra batteries if you’re using Orange Link
- Use a hand warmer to keep your iPhone and Radio Link’s batteries warm, or
- Wrap your iPhone and Radio Link in a spare sock or glove, and keep them close to your body
Cold weather can impact your BG meter test strips and the meter itself- If you’re manually checking your BG, let the strips come to room temperature before relying on them
- If the meter does not turn on, warm it up in your hands or by keeping it in a pocket -or in your sleeping bag if camping
