I wish I could impart something that would put you at ease, but just know the odds of you being involved in a car crash on the way to and from the airport are much higher than anything while in-flight.

Keep that, with all your stuff stashed under the seat in front of you. Then, if you need it, you're not disturbing anyone else. (Unless of course you have a squirter like I did this morning...) Have a laptop? Fully charge it and bring headphones a DVD! I figured this one out when I flew with the family I work with.

I don't have the difficulty of anxiety really about flying, but in order to keep my blood sugars in check I take Dramamine to keep them better. The fact that I can't move and letting food just sit makes mine higher. My only problem is i fall asleep really quickly when i take it, but my BS stay pretty well controlled!!

Mindless reading (People, Us Weekly) distracts me a bit, too. No new, big ideas here, but I wish you well. Safe travels! Hope the flights go easier than you fear they will!

You also can try for an exit row - meaning you probably have more leg room and space to get your carry-on out. Or just spend the extra $30 to reserve an aisle and or exit row seat ahead of time.

I actually drop during flights, something my doctor said can happen with the altitude change. But after talking with other type 1 friends I've learned it doesn't happen to everyone. My advice is this: take full advantage of your iPod or iPhone or other mP3 player.

And I'm not even the diabetic in the family. <br /><br />I get super nervous, though. I make sure I'm there way early (that's the worst part for me - fearing I'll miss my flight), I take my meds, read a book, and chew gum. Like a squirrel. Sugar free, of course.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966595904025968778noreply@blogger.com
