I did feel a bit "grotty" for the first week but I am pleased to say that the nausea has subsided. I have found though, that if I change my eating pattern too much or eat something a little unusual (eg like the lamb and salad kebab I had with loads of onions and green chillis!), it can make me feel a bit rough for an hour or two.Whilst every one reacts differently, I think you are wise to consider putting off starting until after your break - the change of routine and food might not give you the best chance of an easy transition to the new regime. As I had lapsed a bit with my diet over the past year, I did make an effort to prepare for the treatment by watching my intake and generally eating more healthily for a couple of weeks before starting. I reckoned that the jabs were going to be enough of a shock to my system without trying to cut out those little treats as well :wink: One thing I wanted to raise on here was the issue of taking the Byetta Pen on a plane- I think I read somewhere that it was wise to get a doctor's letter about this to show you could carry one legitimately? I guess this could be the same for insulin so maybe someone can clarify this?Best of luck and enjoy your holiday <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
