Thanks. It won't affect my travel plans at all. Last night I started the testing...today is my first full day of recording results and eating on the new diet plan. My fingers are not handling the testing very well...but at least I haven't had a full force flare up...just more intense burning pain.

So far all of my tests (2 last night and 3 today so far) have all been well below the maximum range. It's only the first day...but if things continue to be well controlled them I may reduce the number of times I test each day. I'm very active at work and even when I am home I rarely just sit in place for hours on end...when I talked to the doctor yesterday she said that physical activity will help control the sugars...so I might be okay. The glucose test is done over 3 hours when you basically just sit in a chair and wait to be tested...so it's not really the real world.

Fingers crossed that that's the case and I can look forward to a smooth couple of months ahead.
