Heya Smile

There seems be a lot of debate potential at the moment about site choice... this thread for example as well as this one... perhaps it doesn't matter as much as we think it does? I wonder if this is something that can be agreed upon professionally at some point but in the meantime, it's probably completely fine to continue as we are.

I'm hoping to get some comparisons for this motion sickness thing eventually. Unfortunately, it's not something that happens very often to me and it's seems to be more common to be a symptom than a cause based on other diabetic websites...

This link suggests symptom only:

Blood Disorders --- Blood disorders, such as high blood pressure, anemia, hypoglycemia and high cholesterol, can decrease the amount of blood that gets to your brain, resulting in motion sickness.



..and this link as well:

Autonomic symptoms include sweating, trembling, feelings of warmth, anxiety, and nausea.



Can't find much on Diabetes UK... I dunno. Maybe I should just leave it and guess I'll just have freak hypos when traveling. :/
If I get another case with any hypos or motion sickness involved, I will give this thread the heads up. XD
