Interesting. I’m fairly similar to you I think. Pancreatitis twice etc. I am a type 2 on insulin and I weighed in at 14.3. I stay around 25 carbs daily. Since September I have been losing weight slowly and am now just over 11 stone. Moderately active, I would say. I eat up to 1400 calories a...

At dinner time, about 6pm.

I really don’t use the bolus, Novorapid, unless I go over 25 carbs by an appreciable amount. So I’m just talking about the time, just using a basal, Lantus, that it takes my body to get back to a “normal for me” reading after a meal. I eat around 6 and have a reading of, say, 4.6 just before I...

Yes, I have novorapid but rarely need to use it as we aren’t eating out during lockdown

One forxiga tablet every morning. I only take 12 units of Lantus daily. If I have a meal with starchy carbs (rare) or sugar (also rare) I calculate and use a bolus to control that intake

Thank you. That’s very useful info to have.

Thank you and yes, I can take 6 pens in my two frio bags but I’m going for nearly four months which could be 60 pens (still trying to work out how many to take exactly)! And I shall be away from refrigeration for at least 32 hours from home to New Zealand. All ideas will be welcome.

I have to take 4 months’ worth of insulin on a long haul flight and with travel from home, I won’t be able to refrigerate for about 32 hours. Does anyone know whether Singapore Airlines will refrigerate for me during the flight, or would the insulin be ok just in hand luggage? Thank you.
