I can confirm that I had no issues travelling around Europe just earlier in May. I had only hand luggage and was carrying my meter, strips and lancets, and had week's worth of Metformin in a pillbox - no paperwork with it whatsoever. Nobody batted an eyelid and got through fine.

I'm taking part in this Diabetes research at Exeter University. I'm glad to see that they have made some progress! :happy:

I'm always tired, and it takes a lot of willpower to get up, go to work and function throughout the day. Even when my blood sugar is normal, I just blame getting old on feeling tired all the time.

I was trying to control my T2 with diet, not so much with exercise, I'm very lazy. Around Christmas, I went back to my GP when my BG was 19.0, and I was put on Metformin. It does help to lower your BG levels. It's even curbed my appetite. I now get regular readings between 5 and 7 - where I want...

I lowered my HbA1c from 65 to 49 over 3-4 months. :D Not out of the woods yet, but happy I'm going in the right directions. However, I may have NASH - the liver function tests are increasingly worse, so GP rang and said he'd book me in for an Ultrasound. :grumpy: Can't have it all, ey...

Congratulations! :cat: 5.8 is not bad though - as far as I know that's out of the diabetic range, isn't it! :happy: I have a long way to go from 8.1 a month ago. Will have repeat bloods on Friday, so keeping my fingers and toes crossed. :coldfeet:

Hey, Rachox, thanks for this - very useful! I have 4 Christmas Do's this week, and so far the plan is to consume alcohol on at least 2 of these occasions. I have never had a hypo, I'm the opposite - always hyper, so I don't want to find out what it's like on my nights out! :woot: FBG this...
