As an airline -employee family, let me offer you some advice from our many years of travel....
First, ask for water. The flight crew will come through when the jet hits cruising altitude, and they'll have their handy dandy beverage cart. Ask for water. Then ask them for the cup, the ice and the bottle so you can refill it yourself. This is no inconvenience for them.
For food: Call ahead tonight and ask for a special diabetic meal. If you give them enough hours, they will do it, no charge. Watch what they serve though! Each airline's caterer is different.
Keep drinking the water throughout the flight.
Eat the almonds they serve. 1/4 cup = 1 effective carb. Or bring your own. Also, eat a good meal of eggs and cheese with butter before you check in tomorrow.
If we just made it on a long 12 hour Trans-Atlantic flight, you will be just fine. Keep in control. Sounds like you already are prepared.
I wish you an awesome flight! Annie-Pie
