Just a thought.When I ended up coming back for a month (I did a few other things as I was back, rather than solely for my review), it was fine, but also makes your scripts very expensive!  In my case, I came back to find my HbA1c had come back in non-diabetic numbers.  I had my next HbA1c overseas, and it cost my something like US$85 for the diabetic panel - HbA1c, lipids etc.  That seemed like much better value to me, bearing in mind I was (and am) medication-free.Have you sorted your travel insurance for the long trip?</blockquote>
