Hello all - very strangely I'm sending this from the sky as my husband has tapped into the plane's wifi on his laptop. We set off this morning 2 and a bit hour drive to Edinburgh then flew down to Heathrow and now on our way to Canada. I'm accompanying him on a business trip. Only got 30 mins from home and realised that I'd miscalculated my meds and had only brought 3 days worth of penicillin with me! Phoned Pharmacy2U (no help); phoned my surgery (even less help which is quite unusual for them). No dispensing chemist at either airport. Emailed my Mum's cousin in Edmonton who we're staying with this weekend and within 20 mins he'd emailed back to say that he'd spoken to a pharmacy there and arranged that I can go in and show them my current box and they'll let me have some more - PHEW!!. My next problem that I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me with, is that I've realised I have no idea what I should do about my background basal dose of Lantus that I usually have at 10pm. I'm travelling back in time at the moment and am going to be about 8 or 9 hours behind when I get there. Do I take it in two hours which will be 10pm and then try to work out what the equivalent of that is in Canadian time for tomorrow as I can't take it again at 10pm Canadian time as I'll be ODing on it. Or do I wait until 10pm Canadian time which will actually be 7am UK time - HELP!! 😱 I'm tagging a few people who may know but if anyone else wants to chip in please do. @eggyg @PattiEvans @Eternal422
