Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2751835" data-attributes="member: 556474">What type of insulin it is?If I were you (and when I have travelled to Australia) I move it by taking a part dose and erring on the side of too little - I tend to run low when travelling and going hypo on a flight (without easy access to food) or while traipsing around airports isn't fun.What time are you flying and what route? I'd be tempted to take the evening dose as usual, then take a 1/3 dose as a filler at the time of the next dose (in UK time), then take the full dose (or knock a unit or two off to taper in depending how your BG has been during the flight) in Australian time. Something along those lines anyway. Probably easiest to write it all out on paper with both timezones noted down as well as times of flights and the like (so you're not trying to do it while rushing through an airport.)My dose moves by up to 4h a day anyway depending what time I'm out in the morning/back in the evening (I do split bolus, but even when I did evening doses it would similarly move if I was back late, etc.) so there's quite a lot of flexibility (though it probably depends on insulin - mine is Lantus-similar Abasaglar)</blockquote>
