I went on a couple of all inclusive holidays last year and it wasn't a problem. Usually there will be a wide choice of foods available so you can avoid starchy carbs and eat protein and veggies instead. But your HbA1c isn't too high so you can probably have some carby stuff too, as long as you don't overdo it. A couple of weeks isn't going to make any difference so enjoy your holiday.If you are full after meals you won't feel the need to snack, but if you do stick to stuff like olives, nuts, cheese and chorizo if available. Again the odd helping of crisps won't make much difference and you are on holiday.Your cholesterol isn't too high at 5.2. Mine was 5.7 but I refused statins, they can raise your sugar levels and can have side effects.There are a lot of threads on here about cholesterol and statins. Some people take them, others refuse. Have a read around and make your own decision.</blockquote>
