Thank you for sharing your thoughts @Kenny I think I'm just so overwhelmed and overthinking things.

Thanks @KennyA, this is really helpful. I'm just a little confused about what the main issues to look out for actually are - is it how long it takes for BG to get back to pre food levels, how high the BG levels get after food, the difference between pre food and 2 hours after. I'm so very...

Hi @Melgar I'll certainly make sure I up the water intake for the flight, thank you.
