Hello All,
This is my first post having been diagnosed with type 2 four months ago. Physically my management is good, psychologically less so but that is not the reason for my post. I am about to fly to the US and spending 3 weeks driving route 66, prior to my diagnosis I was a frequent flyer both long and short haul so have a good understanding of the airlines and authority checks. Historically I would have carried a number of snack bars just in case I needed a top up. I have spent hours reading trying to find an alternative bar to what appear to be unsuitable for diabetics, Alpen light seem to be OK, but are they?. To date I have been very cautious sticking strictly to recommended diets and no alcohol, perhaps I am being over cautious but whilst this forum has been brilliant with advice I may now be confused with the amount of information I have taken in. Any suggestions would be warmly received. Thank you. (Meds; Metformin 2x 500mg per day, Ramipril 2.5 mg per day)
