[QUOTE="isjoberg, post: 1455751, member: 72864"] Quick note - if you have a chance ask for an undated letter from your dsn or consultant (as GPS often charge for them). Undated as it means you can keep the letter and make a copy whenever you go away! My doctor suggested this to me so I have a scanned version saved on my laptop and can keep it up to date (I had a few difficulties as I used to travel with a letter from 97 when I was diagnosed and some places felt I was maybe no longer diabetic!) but overall travelling with diabetes is super easy. Another thing that may be worthwhile asking for is an insulin passport on the off chance something does go wrong on holiday, you can take it to the local pharmacy and they can find the same insulin (it's a credit card with a picture and the name of your insulin plus your NHS info). Enjoy your holiday!! [/QUOTE]
