I'm so enjoying reading this community forum, so many subjects relating to us T1's being discussed concerning individual issues and achievements. A great daily read. 

I would like to share the importance of total preparedness when embarking on travelling, particularly international travel. (Whenever this may resume).  Last year I travelled to the UK for 9 weeks and of course considered all my diabetic items required for this journey. There is a lot to consider, particularly on the long haul flights, including  planning  for the unexpected scenarios and these are all listed on numerous websites including Diabetes Queensland.  During the time abroad I realised that I did not pack enough needles, I found this to be extremely worrying and certainly put me in panic mode. Fortunately after visiting a local chemist in a small town on the Scottish border my fears were allayed and I was able to purchase needles with the correct gauge for my pen. A lesson well learnt for future travel. 
I found the FRIO insulin cooling wallet ideal for my insulin pens and so easy to maintain with clear instructions for use. 

I love travelling, like most and having diabetes should not deter anyone from that wonderful experience and enjoyment that comes with travelling.

Hi Werna

Thanks for advice on reusing needles and this was the case when running very low and before I managed to get a further supply.

A timely reminder to myself to do the homework throughly prior to heading abroad for a lengthy time.

Cheers
