[QUOTE="PD Oz, post: 1686743, member: 148226"] The time difference was not a problem. Essentially if you aim to eat the same type of meal as you would depending on the time of day and dose up accordingly you should be fine. So it may mean having some meals closer together or slightly further apart. If you have a regime of long acting (1 dose just befor bedtime) as I do in addition to rapids with meals I aimed to have that at the normal local time. I find when travelling it is best to assess the meal first by looking at it then working out the most suitable dose as you tend to get lots of surprisingly different food things at times. And then it may be wise to leave portions rather than feel committed to having the whole lot eg as for some desserts. I think Emirates must have carefully worked out the most optimal meals for diabetics by getting good advice as I had both the mains and desert with confidence. Most other airlines I have been with don’t bother altering anything if you tick the box “diabetic” so I give up trying to let those ones know. [/QUOTE]
