Hi there!
I have a big question over how travelling to a foreign country and living abroad (changes in the climate and other unseen environmental factors) affect our blood glucose. I am a type 1, diagnosed 6 months ago. When I had to travel a broad and stayed there for 2 weeks, my insulin doses changed a lot when I arrived there and after I came back my home country. These are just my first experiences and maybe my body hasn't even adjusted itself to the condition yet. So I just wonder what is it for those who have had diabetes for many years now! For us who are insulin dependent and jobs involving travelling and living abroad, do we encounter large fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin needs as the result of changes in living environments/time zones/climate? Hope to discuss this with someone. Thanks so much in advance!
