[QUOTE="ScottyD, post: 1281215, member: 316485"] Thanks so much [USER=142835]@himtoo[/USER]! Really appreciate the kind words! So happy the way things have changed in aviation - just been offered a new job with BA and a friend of mine has just passed his captaincy interview with easyJet. Never been happier with life and that's now with diabetes coming along for the ride! I've noted my DP and it rises from 4/5 to around 7? My pump seems to have that under control with the settings I have. However, like you said, I'm still new so that could be totally wrong? My diabetes care team are amazing and they have been awesome getting me back flying. I have discussed many things with them and the DP things seemed all okay, would the snack be a good if the DP seems okay? I was at a 3 monthly pump group run by the NHS in Scotland and we just discuss sick day rules, carb counting, exercise, alcohol etc. Really just refreshing everything that you were taught at first diagnosis and I asked about post meal spikes. They said really it's not a worry if it's coming back down within my insulin's active period - which it is. I'm very conscious of not getting hooked up on it all and it always being on my mind. As you said, every day is different but always similar enough to draw comparisons... It's easy sitting in a seat all day at work so my sugars seem to stay relatively steady. With different start times for work (4am wake-up through to afternoon starts) my breakfast time does vary but I get similar results. The 4am wake up is where I don't bolus early as I just want my bed but the rush to get to work on time and the walk to the airport from the car park always brings that down nicely anyway. Any other thoughts always appreciated but it's really just a nit picking question all of this!! [/QUOTE]
