[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1737522, member: 21149"] Hi. I don't believe you need to worry about travel at this stage but do get hold of glucose meter and check that your blood sugar isn't noticeably creeping up. Look for less then 8.5mmol 2 hours after a meal. I agree with [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] that you need to bear in mind the possibility of being T1 and not T2. GPs often mis-diagnose this if you are slim and possibly young. So if you are not overweight and having a low-carb diet then ask the GP for the two tests for T1 i.e. GAD and c-peptide. A negative GAD doesn't mean you aren't T1 but the c-peptide which measures your insulin production is a fairly good guide. [/QUOTE]
