This is my first time going to visit my fiancé's family after my type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

Myself and my fiance visit his family once a year in June. We can only go in June as its the best time for us and my fiancé's sisters as they all have children of different ages some are still in school and some haveeft in like the last year or so. Plus it's the only time my fiancé can get time off work as he ways books his holiday for June in January due to the cleaning company he works for. He was advised by both his boss and someone who works in the office to book his holidays no later than January.
I know that I need to take my medication with me as I'm going to reorder it on Tuesday via email as that's how I have to order them through my doctors. Myself and my fiance always take our own food and drinks with us when we go away as its cheaper than buying food and drinks on the train and at the stations. We always take 2 big two litre bottles of sugar free orangeaid that we buy from our local lidl.
Is there anything else I need to take with me just to be on the safe side as I'd rather be safe than sorry.
 
And how long are you going to be away and are you still going to be within the UK or across into Europe?
 
I always take more medication than needed for the trip, plus a copy of my prescription, just in case. I always take both in my hand luggage as well, if flying.
