Arlene’s plane trip
Arlene, this isn’t a medical opinion, but you might want to (just for
your own peace of mind) lower your basal rate while on the flight. Worst
that can happen is that you’ll arrive at your destination with
higher-than-usual blood sugar…but if it prevents a low, why not take
that chance?
I just finished a day of three take-off/landings and three time zones,
and checked my sugar every hour while in the air. I wouldn’t normally do
that, but it made me feel safer — and sure enough, the lows turned up
within plenty of time to attack them! You can always pack your purse
with extra snacks and glucose, and make all the other hungry passengers
jealous <g>
Good luck!
