The planning process

• Split the holiday into 3 sections i.e. the outward journey, the 'holiday' itself, and the return journey including a few days after getting back home.
• For each section think about what food will be available and when? Will the food be different to what you are used to? Will it be easy to obtain whilst you are travelling? How will you assess the carbohydrate content of 'new' foods?

• What activities will you be involved in during the 3 sections? Will you be more or less active than usual?

• Are all of your documents up-to-date and will they still be valid whilst you are away. For example: if you intend to drive whilst on holiday does your insurance cover you to drive abroad? Does your diabetes affect whether you can use a 'hire car' or not even if it part of the holiday package that you are buying? Does your holiday insurance provide you with the correct level of cover - are you certain that you have fully informed the insurance company of your medical condition and so you have the 'correct' cover?

• Are there going to be any issues relating to your medication? Not all types of insulin are available worldwide; even those that are common in most countries are not always available in the same strengths and so will require differing syringes. Insulin is sensitive to temperature variations and so how are you going to try to keep it from getting too hot or too cold? Not all aircraft have heated luggage sections and so it is vital that when travelling by air insulin MUST be carried in the in-flight hand luggage.

• Are your vaccinations up-to-date? Certain vaccinations can have mild side-effects which could make you feel a little 'of-colour' and so it would be better to have them done earlier than later! Th

    Credit Cards for Bad Debt
    Many individuals have had trouble making a payment to a creditor from time to time. If you have had a prolonged history of making late payments, or skipping payments altogether, you may have developed what is known as a bad credit history, and perhaps you think that means you will be unable to get a credit card? While it certainly becomes more difficult to obtain credit with a bad credit history, it isn’t impossible. What you should know is that creditors will take into consideration more factors than just what they see on your credit report, and there are credit lenders who specialize in offering credit cards for bad cre

    Corn Futures Bull Market and Ethanol Demand
    The USDA recently came out with their estimates for corn ending stocks at .935 billion bushels which is 8% less than last year and an 11 year low. In fact the last time corn stockpiles were this low corn futures prices hit an all time high of over $5.00 per bushel. There is no guarantee that this same supply scenario will lead to all time high corn future prices again but massive amounts of new corn acreage will be necessary to keep up with the current demand and put a lid on rising corn futures prices.Another consideration is the weakening US Dollar which makes American grains cheap to foreign buyers.

The most obvious place to go for advice and guidance is the diabetic advisor (GP, Diabetic Clinic or whoever the diabetic normally sees), who will be able to help work out how medication and/or diet will have to be adjusted in order to allow for all the possible changes due to the holiday. He or she will also be able to give advice on what to do in case of holiday 'bugs' such as diarrhoea and or sickness.

  What to take with you

  • Take at least twice as much medication, syringes, pens, needles etc as you would normally require - just in case!
  • If you are travelling with a companion split your medication between the 2 of you - just in case. Ensure that your medication is in your hand luggage BUT check with the airline about the rules concerning syringes etc as the bulk of these may have to go 'in the hold'.
  • If you are going abroad, ensure that, along with your 'normal' holiday paperwork you have a letter from your doctor or diabetic advisor confirming your medical condition and that you need to carry syringes etc.
  • A basic first aid kit.
  • Your blood monitoring equipment including a spare battery - just in case!
  • A cool bag for storing your insulin.
  • Your diabetic identity card or jewellery.
  • Plenty of glucose tablets or whatever sweets etc you carry - just in case!
  • A supply of carbohydrate in your hand luggage just in case there is an hold-up, delay etc and you cannot find anywhere to get a meal at the appropriate time.
  • A list of your medication and the appropriate dosage - just in case you are unable to explain to someone yourself as to what you take and when.

  Unusually 'things' to be aware of
