Hi guys
I'm sooo excited, we have booked to go to Florida in October. It will be the first time we have taken our son, who will be 7 then.
As many of you know, Florida is 5 hrs behind good old Blighty, and I'm wondering the best and easiest way to work with my basal, which is Lantus.
I currently take 16u about 7pm with my tea, but that would mean I have to take it at 2 pm in Florida, which is a pain as will be in the parks and only wanted to carry my Novorapid pen/bg monitor. It's just, imagine doing 2 injections in the toilets or restaurants, ones bad enough!!
So, do I just keep to 7pm even in Florida, but use a little more Novorapid on my first lunchtime over there to help with the running out of the 24 hr base being used up
Or, do I take my lantus 4 pm first day, 6 pm 2nd day, till 3rd day I'm at my 7pm time, I just need to reverse it towards end of holiday?
Any recommendations guys?
Thank you ️️️️.
Any other tips!!!!???
