Hello
I'm just after some advice really. My partner has suffered with type 1 diabetes for 20 years. He moderately keeps it under control day to day with the odd up and down spells. He's recently come back from a holiday two days early after having extremely high ketones in his blood which the doctor has later said is mainly from a viral infection. We plan to go to Florida next week and due to the anxiety of the last trip and how bad his diabetes was, he's having second thoughts about the holiday which I completely understand. I was just wondering if you could give any advice that maybe could make him feel better or for me to support him to know that all will be ok on the holidays? I'm not sure if the extreme heat and sunny conditions will make his blood sugars worse but just after a few things I can say or help with. Thanks xxx
