[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 71221, member: 11459"] Hi I was diagnosed last year, not ventured on holiday yet. I find mixed insulin a pain in the **** but you should have a notion of profile by the time you go on holiday (ie when you are most likely to hypo, when you should snack etc). You have a couple of choices for hols - ask to move to basal bolus, gives you more flexibility for food or if put your insulin up a bit for duration of the hols, I would speak to a nurse/doc before you do this to be on the safe side if you are not confident about it Buy a frio bag [url=http://www.friouk.com]http://www.friouk.com[/url] Its an insulin storage system for such an occasion Also,maybe accept (within reason) that bg might run a bit higher than youd like for the duration, I personally feel quite horrible if my bg gets into double figures at any time so I couldnt do that and enjoy a holiday but if you are ok with it, then just relax and go with it. Your body will soon tell you how its reacting to what you are doing! As for alcohol - spirits and diet mixers, red wine appear to be the best for good bg mangement (well you know what I mean :wink: ) but as per advice, it does lower the bg though if you are planning on hitting the All inclusive then Im sure food intake to alcohol ratio wont be a prob Just be mindful of times you would normally test, and stick to it Enjoy!
