Message: <blockquote data-quote="spideog" data-source="post: 230288" data-attributes="member: 31176">When I've gone to NZ before I would just treat the duration of the flight as being a very long night, I was on slightly different lantus doses for am and pm. Then bolus approximately as per normal for the duration. On arrival though I'd still not switch to NZ time until I'd had a good nights kip first, like don't be landing at 9am and think that it is a normal day, it's not. Depends on flight times and what you normally do of course. I was just aiming for keeping a limited basal level and then correcting with boluses as needed for the flight and first day or so. Then you are into their time zone so just switch.Not done a long flight since being on the pump yet, but would expect I'd reduce the bolus for the duration of the flight, and then change the date/ time on it once landed. Again with a few tests to see what is actually happening.</blockquote>
