Arrogant/unhelpful people. Spiders/bugs basically anything with 6-8 legs. Creeps me out.
Hate mud unless I'm camping oddly
Hi all,
right, firstly I'm sorry if this have been covered. I've found a few similar posts but I just want to be specific so I know that I'll be ok.
This is going to be my very first time going abroad. Never flown before so I don't really know what to expect. We are going to Tenerife and departing from Manchester airport in 2 weeks.
I've got an insulin pump so I'm going to want to take supplies for this. My actual injection and supplies for that ie. needles etc and also my bm machine, strips and lancets. And the obvious insulin for the pump and spare insulin for my injection.
I've rang the diabetes centre and asked my DSN to ring me asap for advice and that I need a letter (is that right? What do they need to say in the letter?)
I'm petrified they'll make me go through the scanner and it will break my pump. So reassure me guys...will I be ok? Feeling incredibly nervous all of a sudden :shock:
Also, do you guys do your holiday insurance through Diabetes UK? Is there anything specific I need to look for?
