Welcome to the forum @Alberto1966
Good to have you here with all that experience.

I look forward to hearing more from you.
 
Hello @Alberto1966 and welcome from me as well.
Is it all going OK for you through these difficult times?
 
Hi Alby and welcome to the forum

Hi there, yes not too bad. Worrying times though, won't feel confident to mingle after lockdown until a vaccine is found but that's way off. Be interested to hear what others think for when lockdown is eased. Maybe I'm over thinking it?
 
Hello @Alberto1966 (Alby) welcome to the forum great to have you onboard.🙂
 
Am trying to think a day at a time at the mo - but then again, have never been a great planner.
 
I think the same as you Alby - we currently already have a holiday booked in the Canaries in November - will we really want to go into an enclosed space with 300 sundry other people for 4+ hours by then?

They have long quoted the example of one person with TB getting on a plane in Asia and saying by the time it landed in Europe, 7 people had TB. Always been nasty even more bug ridden places since they stopped smoking on them, since they had to exchange a greater proportion of the re circulating air inside the cabin before, now it's only 10%. OK they save on fuel - but it's more of a health hazard anyway, even without CV19.
 
Welcome to the forum @Alberto1966

We‘ve a few long-term T1s on the forum, I’m a mere beginner with not quite 30 years on the clock yet. 😛

What are you currently using to tame your BG gremlins?

Hello there,
Tame the gremlins, great way to look at it. 🙂
I'm on Novorapid and Lantus. Regular blood checks. Try to eat healthy and maintain some sort of excercise routine.
I get the highs and lows but as long as I know what's caused it I'm sort of happy.
It's a lifelong balancing act!
Keep Well
Alby

Yes I think the flight is more worrying than the holiday. No option to distance on a plane sitting in a big tube of germs.
We have to rely on the scientists to come up with an answer quicker than we expect.
let's hope it happens
Keep well
Alby 🙂
 
Indeed! Live in hope I say. Just don't rely on it too much though, to avoid disappointment, is all.
