[QUOTE="Hazza, post: 251708, member: 28601"] Hi, I'd just like to say that you will have a great time wherever you go. Of course, you will worry and be apprehensive, it's all part of being a parent. We have just got back from a 2 week holiday in Goa and the flights were horrendous (13.5 hours sat on a plane for a 9 yr old is not great) but as long as you use common sense you will be OK. Lily has had type 1 now for 20 months and this is her second trip to India since she has been diagnosed, she is on a pump so it is a lot easier to manage than injections but you still worry. We have found that she doesn't need to be connected all the time and that she burns the sugar off by running around. You will need a letter from your doctor or diabetes team but we have never been asked for it. Take all your medical stuff with you in your hand luggage and don't forget to take extra just in case. Have a great holiday and try to relax. Harry [/QUOTE]
