Our 1st weekend away since our son was diagnosed with Type 1 5 wks ago and I can say it’s quite stressful it’s like packing for a baby again making sure you’ve got everything taking spares “ just in case “ but I’m determined we’re going to have a fab time think we all deserve it.
 
Hope you can relax when you get there, have a good weekend!
 
You’ll be fine. Once you arrive and realise you haven’t forgotten anything, you’ll relax, and you deserve to.
 
I hope you have a great time @Lisa2804 .

The packing gets easier, and just as including clothes is obvious, lthough maybe a difficult choice, packing Diabetes stuff becomes obvious, and there are fewer choices to make.

I now have a checklist in my pump log and just use that to gather everything I know that I will need. It always gets sorted first, then other meds then the rest of the stuff.

Let us know how the weekend went.
 
Enjoy your weekend with your family @Lisa2804.🙂
 
Enjoy your break. 🙂
 
Thanks everyone we had a really good time 3 night stay in Manchester which included my birthday and the Man United v Chelsea game Zach is a massive Man U fan !! We had a couple of blips along the way mainly Zach realising there’s somethings that may take a little more planning than normal but all in all a great weekend and Man U didn’t loose so that was a bonus .

So glad that you had a good time.
As you say things just need a bit more planning, but that will just become normal.
