Thank you @Jacqui T it is really giving confidence reading all the suggestions! Do you think I can get away by not giving novorapid (quick acting) for one of my meals if i know I have done enough activities? or Do I still need to ensure that I take at least 1 unit to keep me going? The weather...

@Lynne C J Thank you for replying! I have got couple of Frio wallets to use during the holiday but I have got few questions please do you think I should keep the insulin am using everyday in the frio wallet as well or it will be okay in the normal cases? and also I was given additional glucose...

@Scott-C Massive thank you for that detailed response! I feel a lot more reassured about going ahead with this travel. I will speak to my DSN regarding the insulin adjustments. You really have given that extra confidence through your response. I feel very excited for my travel to India...

@Diakat I really don't understand the correction dose yet and they haven't explained like that to me. All I was told is to keep my carb consistent for now until they see me next and continue with the insulin dosage advised (3 units Novorapid between meals and 6 units lantus). I am not seeing the...

@Diakat Thank you! Yeah, I have been using that app since I was diagnosed but food items are kind of hard to guess and its not available on the app either.

Thank you so much for that it gives me a lot of reassurance! I was wondering if you eat out or how you manage cravings because they have told me to keep my carbs consistent till my next follow up meeting to review my insulin dosage but it would be great if you don't mind sharing your experience...
