[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1435525, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=268973]@Robynoksana[/USER] I second the advice about heat, I find heat makes me burn glucose at a faster rate, so reducing basal and regular testing, you have to take a bit more care in the heat. I also use a Frio bag to store my insulin as it keeps it cool. Personally I have never been asked for a doctors letter when travelling through airports, I think they see a few type 1's. I also keep all my kit in hand luggage, and if you can afford to using a libre is useful as it saves you doing the testing. I try to switch off on hols so a libre is useful for just seeing if you're going high/low and knowing when to take evasive action to avoid hypos. Have a fabulous time :) [/QUOTE]
