[QUOTE="Deleted member 391597, post: 1463822"] Hi [USER=268973]@Robynoksana[/USER], I was diagnosed about 7 weeks ago and went away to Gran Canaria last week. I had already booked the holiday before diagnosis so was a little worried but everything worked out great! I had a letter from my DSN stating I was a Type 1 diabetic just incase airport security asked about why I was carrying needles (which they didn't) and took all my medication in my hand luggage. I used a Frio bag to keep my insulin cool when out and about during the day which was fab. My sugars did run on the low side for the first 4/5 days (I'm assuming because of the heat) so my advice would just be to test more regularly and carry a snack with you just incase you need to get your levels up...make the most of the extra snacks and enjoy!
