Ladakh is high altitude place. You should carry your current medicines. Kindly discuss it with your physician. I hope your sugar levels are within normal limits. Certain normal physiologic changes occur in every person who goes to high altitude: Hyperventilation (breathing faster, deeper, or both) Shortness of breath during exertion Changed breathing pattern at night Awakening frequently at night Increased urination. So Don't worry. Body generally takes time to adapt new place.
