Hi everyone. Its been a while since I asked anything but I`m pleased to report since being diagnosed with Type 2 in march i have been very good & have reduced my blood sugar to almost borderline diabetes levels. I am still taking Metformin 1000 mg x 2 per day & although I have been told I can stop monitoring my BS levels I am still doing so once a day...just to keep a check. I have also lost nearly 2 stones of weight, am sticking more or less to a low carb diet & taking more exercise including "playing" tennis again - after 30+ years of not playing tennis! So life is quite positive now after several weeks of deep gloom following the diagnosis. Now my question...we still have a small flat in France & have decided we are going to go there for a month in September. We know the situation in France & don`t intend to take any risks. What do I do about taking my BS monitor, lancets, testing strips & medication...is it enough to declare them at security? We normally only take carry on luggage as we have stuff over there in the flat & so can travel lightly. Can anyone advise me?
