    23. Hot Diabetic Summer: Devices Out, Heat Hacks, and Burnout

    Hot Diabetic Summer isn't just a vibe. It's the confidence-first idea behind Hot Diabetic Club, and we're fully in it. This week Carson and Tini get into what it actually means to wear your devices visibly, brush off the comments, and find your people poolside. Summer diabetes real talk: heat spikes, sweaty sensors, and the eternal battle of keeping everything stuck to your skin. We swap favorites (hi, Lexicam and Skin-Grips) and warn you about something sneaky… spray sunscreen is quietly destroying your Omnipod and Dexcom plastic. We've got a workaround. Tini gets into taking pump and CGM breaks with her doctor's support and switching to MDI, while Carson is firmly team tech. Both valid. We also play a summer edition of Hot or Not, debate device tan lines, and close out with all the hotline and follow/review reminders.
