| Hi Cary,
I was in Puerto Vallarta between Christmas and New Years. It is one of my favorite places in Mexico.
First I decided to stay on the pump while there but I did bring twice as much supplies as I figured I needed. Plenty of test strips and extra meter. I also brought my Levemir and Novalog pens with me just in case. I did have a small fridge in the room and traveled with a small cold pack to keep the necessary things cold.
What I found is that the food is different and the first few days made some big errors in my carb counts and calculations. After that I kept it pretty simple and kept to a low carb diet with limited sauces lots of great fish and no chips and salsa. There was also that day where I had infusion problems and because of that did revert to injections for a day.
With the pump I made sure not to have it exposed to the sun so it did not get too hot. In the water I did remove it but gave myself a small bolus to cover the time that I had the pump off.
I hope that some of this helps, careful with the carb counting.
