[QUOTE="DTPhelan, post: 2019697, member: 502221"] [FONT=Arial]Hi all![/FONT] [FONT=Arial]Just looking for any information and advice please. I was diagnosed with diabetes in February, and I'm still waiting for official confirmation as to whether it's T1 or T2 (been referred to diabetic clinic which I have an appointment for on 17th April). Currently being treated as T2 with Metformin and Gliclazide. I'm due to travel to Texas for 10 days in a few months, flying out on July 1st and returning July 11th (land back in UK on 12th), and I was just wondering what tips and advice people could provide regarding adjusting times of medications etc. for the flight and when away. It's a 10 hour flight with a 6 hour time difference. So on the 1st I'll leave UK at 12:00 but arrive in USA at 16:20 local time (22:20 UK time). And on flight back will leave at 18:30 as Texas time, arriving back on 12th at 9:20 UK time. I've already looked into what to take with regards to copy of prescription/letter from doctors to state why I need the medication etc. And obviously cool bag and the like for insulin if I do end up being T1. So I'm more after advice for actually dealing with the change in timings of meals and doses. As I am still waiting for confirmation of my type, and advice regarding T1 or T2 would be appreciated! Obviously, once I know what type I am I could always get advice from my GP/Diabetes Nurse, but thought I'd get some info from the community first. Thanks in advance! :):)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
