[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2093220, member: 374531"] Hi, [USER=3870]@enzina[/USER] , a few tips on holidaying with fast-acting: If you're walking around a lot doing sightseeing, that counts as exercise, so might lower your bg as much as a gym session, so it's worthwhile thinking about notching back your usual meal dose a bit if you're going to be wandering around a lot. If you're going to be drinking alcohol more than usual, remember it reduces the amount of inter-meal glucose coming from the liver by about a half, so sometimes reducing basal is a good idea, and/or having a carby snack before bed. That whole hassle of getting to the airport, usually at ridiculous times of the day can take us so far out of usual routines, I'd let bg run a bit higher, and not bother with correction doses too much - going hypo when going through security is best avoided. And, last but not least, if you can treat a hypo at home, you can treat a hypo anywhere in the world! Have fun - I confidently predict that when you get back, you'll be wondering what you were worrying about! [/QUOTE]
