[QUOTE="Ladynijo, post: 2680652, member: 570715"] [USER=6467]@LittleGreyCat[/USER] I went to NZ and Australia over Christmas & New Year, and was interested to see how the time changes affected my BG. Apart from managing the eating and sleeping needs on the journey, it didn’t take long to adjust. In fact, I think I left the dawn phenomenon in the northern hemisphere, and it hasn’t come back, even though I’ve returned to the Uk. It may have disappeared anyway because I think my T2 is stabilising but I no longer seem to get that huge morning rise early on for no reason. The eating/drinking on the journey was challenging, airline meals are so processed and carb based it was difficult to get my normal food. That was quite stressful in itself but I put a Libre on about 24 hours before the journey so I could monitor the situation, which was useful. But once there, and after a decent nights sleep, I was back on an even keel within 24 hours. Much the same coming back, although I was pretty fed up with air ports & planes by then. But I do find a good nights sleep cures most ills. [/QUOTE]
