Hi
I'm about to jet off to Australia and want to run my thoughts by other insulin users. Normally I am on the pump but as I'm going to be spending a lot of time on the beach I'm going to revert back to multiple.
So, here's how I plan to adjust.
Night before flight normal lantus dose
Bolus as required during flight
At midnight UK time (8am Perth time) normal lantus dose on flight
24 hours later (8am next day) half normal dose to cover for the day
Bedtime that night normal dose.
What does everyone think?
