[QUOTE="Jacqui T, post: 2052896, member: 495143"] Hi Selya, I have been a T1 for 24 years and, until last year, lived in Africa. Heat will definitely reduce your need for your bolus insulin, especially if you are more physically active than usual. Most of that has been covered in the above comments. Keep your test strips cool but not refrigerated. Take extra strips for sure. Also remember to take glucose sweets which you carry on you at all times. That way you can quickly sort out a low BG wherever you are. Very important also to keep well hydrated. I have travelled many times as a T1 - and it is really fine. The biggest thing is to be well organised and not to let anyone make you anxious or rush you. You are on a big learning curve, take the time you need. I know it's daunting, but you will adjust and life will seem simple again. Go and enjoy your holiday and the wedding! [/QUOTE]
