Hi all
T1 for 40 years, MDI (Insulard X 2 daily basal, Novorapid bolus using Libre to monitor.) I eat about 150g carbs / day which I know sounds a lot, but I'm pretty active and tend to run / exercise 500-600 kcals most days - without that my carb intake would be less @ about 100g.
I have to go to India for a one week work trip. Days will be very full on, going straight from a 10-12 hour non stop office day into going for dinner with colleagues / hosts.
I suspect I'm going to have issues due to the crammed nature of the itinerary and limited autonomy over meal timing / choices. I understand it's advisable to avoid meat.
Any general advice for me please? My main concern is being safe from overnight hypos. I haven't had one for 18 months (thankfully) but I'm very conscious my routine will be completely shot. I suspect I will aim to run a little higher than usual to mitigate this but would greatly appreciate any thoughts or experiences you have to share?
