How to approach summer with myLoop
As the holiday break approaches, children look forward to exciting summer activities. Many look forward to travelling with their families, engaging in sports, joining a summer camp, or spending time exploring a new hobby. The adventure season has begun! Changes in normal routine can also mean changes in glucose levels. Learn how myLoop keeps the fun going!
How myLoop works
myLoop automatically adapts to your child’s unique insulin needs. This capability allows to make adjustments in diabetes management during spontaneous summer activities, contributing to optimal glycemic control.
As a parent or caregiver, the in-app Companion* remote monitoring feature allows you to keep an eye on your child's glucose levels and receive alerts for peace of mind when the child is away.
Top summer activities loved by children
Swimming: enjoying water sports in the pool or on the beach can provide great exercise for your child.
Summer parties: the BBQ is on, ice cream is calling, delicious fruit juices await... enjoying summer foods in great company is a perfect plan for families with kids.
Walks & hikes in nature: outdoor walks keep children active without being too exhausting. Scavenger hunts or outdoor parks can be a great way to keep your child engaged and entertained.
Sports: sports such as football, basketball, or tennis can foster a sense of inclusion and build teamwork skills amongst children.
Camping: taking part in a camping trip with friends or family provides an opportunity to engage in enticing outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, or campfire cooking.
Arts & Crafts: Your child is not in the mood for physical exertion? Activities such as drawing, painting, pottery or team projects foster creativity.
Embrace summer with spontaneity
While these may be common summer activities for any child, managing diabetes while being active sometimes comes with considerations. myLoop grants your child the flexibility to join in any summer plan without worrying about glucose management. However, your care and proactiveness is still required to make the most of each summer adventure.
* Companion remote monitoring is compatible with Android smartphones running OS 8 and above or OS 10 and above (as of January 2025). Internet connectivity is required to share data with ”companions”.
