[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1777989"] I second everything from [USER=70171]@Engineer88[/USER] and would add - take a letter from your doctor - expect unexpected BG - the stress may rise the BG, the non-stop food may rise it but the exercise may lower it. So, you may need to test more often and be ready with corrections so make sure you take many test strips (possibly more than twice what you think you need), batteries for the meter and plenty of hypo treatment. - buffets are fine - depending on where you are with carb counting, you may want to count (and inject) after the plate has been ladden or to set a carb budget and try to fill the plate to this budget. - if your room has a fridge, store spare insulin in the fridge, if not, Frio is the way to go. - have an amazing time - don't let diabetes stop you or your family doing what you want.
