My wife is type 1 diabetic and we are due to fly to the USA in the next 2 weeks from the UK. Dispite having made the trip on several occasions (40+ times), allthough the last 3 years ago she is quite distressed by whole affair. Stress levels are high and I cant seem to carm her with the reasurance that all will be OK.
Whilst I am aware that time differences have to be dealt with as she injects a base in the evening which is then supported by fast acting during the day, please could somebody advise or give some assurance that a 9 hour flight will be OK or am I missing something and she should not be making the trip.
Many thanks for all responses, they are gratefully received.
