This all seems like good advice which I'll be sure to keep in mind. Yeah, I've not sorted travel insurance yet but I know it'll be higher than last year before my diagnosis, which sucks. I will be doing a fair amount of walking every day whilst over there so I'll have to keep an eye on my...

The meals for the flight do include a "diabetic" option, but I will have to check exactly what they have. I'll definitely get in touch with the airline :)

Hi all! Just looking for any information and advice please. I was diagnosed with diabetes in February, and I'm still waiting for official confirmation as to whether it's T1 or T2 (been referred to diabetic clinic which I have an appointment for on 17th April). Currently being treated as T2...

Yeah, that's going to be the annoying thing lol. I have a habit of checking I've got everything anyway when I go out somewhere (often multiple times) so hopefully should be okay on remembering [emoji4]

I've already looked into the travel and DVLA stuff. Not fully actioned yet though. Regarding the travel I'm waiting until I know what I'll actually be taking with me if I end up on insulin. But yeah, I'm sorting that out [emoji4]

This sounds very similar to my current situation. Only difference being I have been diagnosed with under-active thyroid alongside diabetes now. But yeah, doctors I've seen lately are convinced it's type 1 so will wait and see what the tests show. I'm sure I'll be able to manage with it if it...

Thank you! It certainly is good to know that there is a wide community where I can find help and advice! As an update, had doctors appointment this morning and he is going to try and get my appointment with the diabetic clinic moved forward as he also feels 8th May is too long to wait. So...

I thought that was the case. I have had an appointment with the diabetic nurse at my GP practice already as well to go over things. I'm hoping all will go well at the clinic, and I'll be in good hands like you say. The wait is a bit ridiculous to be fair (my mum was not impressed haha) but I'm...

Thank you. I am in the UK. Not sure why my Drs don't actually do that. I've been referred to the actual diabetic clinic where I live so I guess it's just how they work it where I'm at

I was thinking myself. Apparently though this was an *urgent* referral so I feel the Dr that referred has expedited it as much as she could. I live in Preston

Hello All!! New to the forums and looking to get some input from the community. I was diagnosed diabetic 4 weeks ago on 19/02/2019, followed up with diagnostic blood tests; HbA1c through the roof at 131!! Currently taking Metformin 500mg, two twice a day, and Gliclazide 40mg, one twice a day...
