[QUOTE="daisynova, post: 271607, member: 13779"] With the timings of your flight and pump rates, try to get your pump onto Toronto time as quickly as you can bearing in mind sleeping hours and eating times. I regularly fly long haul from South Asia to the UK and the trip often takes up to 24 hours so each hour I adjust the pump back by 2 hours. I also use the temp basal rates too so that I don't go hypo. I would rather run my BS high for a few hours than risk a hypo on a plane. Just gauge it as you go along and test regularly. Once you hit Canada and have got to your destination, then you can resolve any high blood suagrs and sort your pump on Toronto time if you haven't already done so. Good luck x [/QUOTE]
