[QUOTE="Beaver Lee, post: 826706, member: 137984"] Thanks so much for all the suggestions and advice. Five things: 1/ The small, round, soft goats' cheeses for our packed lunch showed up as liquids. The lady on the outward trip dealing with this custom's "alert" was great. She also has T1 and just packaged them up in the plastic bags for liquids. In future we will be taking hard cheeses for our snacks for travelling. 2/ The hospital gave us a covering letter re the needles and medication for customs. This was needed, especially for coming back, some officials at Chambréy were less friendly. 3/ The hospital also advised lessening the basal dose a little. (Apparently this was something to do with the effects of altitude.) 4/ As Tim mentions re the importance of making sure of insurance cover - there was an extra to pay. Also we made sure that all the normal details plus holiday details were all in the bracelet too. 5/ The dietician at the hospital was helpful with ideas and recipes for things to make and take with us for our low carb high fat diet ( we follow a mix of GAPS / SCD and Dr Bernstein's dietary advice: basically using food which fit both sets of criteria.) What took the effort was getting my brain around it all ready for a new environment. It actually was not any more difficult. We ate well, and didn't go hungry. :) Thanks so much for all the encouragement. Beaver Lee [/QUOTE]
