[QUOTE="Caterham, post: 343694, member: 42264"] Personally, I would go. You are at a very early stage after diagnosis.You don't mention if you have adjusted your diet to reduce the amount of carbs you are eating, but as you have a meter then you are already taking an active part in managing your condition. This management will happen over the next years and decades, so the trip next month should not be a major issue, especially if you don't eat lots of rice every day! I travel a lot (abroad for 6 weeks a year), and now I have a handle on what I can eat, I don;t even take my test kit with me. In fact, I got a HbAC1 of 5.99 straight after a month in the States, which is a carb heavy environment! The next stage for me would be, by testing, discover the amount of carbs your body can deal with to remain under the 8.5 recommended after 2 hours (Although a lot of people on here advocate 7.8 as the limit). Once you have this information, you can begin to bring your readings consistently down. In summary, life is for living, even with diabetes. [/QUOTE]
