@Bertyboy , as you're only a couple of weeks in, you've maybe not had any serious hypos yet.
Assuming you're on fixed doses, and not yet familiar with the finer points of carb counting and insulin adjustment, and maybe also have the honeymoon period kicking in, there's a lot of uncertainties and variables already in the equation, so please be absolutely aware that if you go out of your normal routine, to a hot country, involving long flights, maybe uncertain daily routines, rushing around from place to place, those additional factors will likely substantially increase by a large margin the chances of a serious hypo.
I'm not saying you shouldn't go, it's not my place to, and you're a grown adult who can make his own judgment call about it in discussion with dsn etc, but if you've not had a bad hypo yet, believe me, you don't want to have your first one in a hotel room in a foreign country!
At the bare minimum make absolutely sure you carry adequate glucose supplies with you at all times. And by that, I mean on your person. A common newly dx'd mistake is to have glucose but leave it in the hotel room or wherever - if you're dropping hard and fast, getting a few a hundred yards to your room to get the stuff is not easy. I'd be inclined to carry three tubes of glucotabs or dextrotabs or equivalent at all times, preferably a glucojuice as well, although not sure if you'd get that as a liquid through airport security, so maybe pick up small cans of coke or apple juice once you're in country. Mentos sweets are widely available in pretty much every country and are a good bet if you run out of glucose tabs (mainly because they don't melt!).
And also be aware of the timing of insulin. If you take your fixed dose just before a meal, and then something at work drags you away or something is rescheduled, that insulin is not going to wait till you get around to eating - it'll start working and continue working, dropping you lower and lower. Some newly dx'd have had pretty savage hypos by overlooking that fact, and it's easy to lose sight of if you're dashing around on business in such a hectic country as India.
If you're walking around on site visits or whatever, or even just walking around doing a bit of tourism during breaks, remember that even that counts as exercise, which can reduce your levels quite substantially on its own so insulin dose may need to be adjusted.
Heat can also substantially affect response to insulin - many find less is needed because the hotter weather opens up capillaries so insulin gets circulated around the body quicker. Don't know what the weather over there is like at the moment, but assuming it's hotter and more humid than here, there's a chance that the heat will increase the chance of hypos and the humidity might cause confusion - profuse sweating is a common indicator of a hypo and so you might not know if you sweating is the humidity or a hypo.
So, like I say, it's your call, but if you do go, these are factors which you'll need to be aware of and make adjustments for.
