Traveling with diabetes
If travel is a part of your life, diabetes doesn’t have to tie you down! With a little planning, travel can be more manageable. Here are a few things to include in your plans before you leave:
- Visit your diabetes care team and ask for extra prescriptions in case you need medicine or supplies while you’re gone
- When flying, always carry diabetes medicines, insulin, and testing supplies with you. Do not check them with your luggage
- Think about where you will store your diabetes medicines. Check your product’s patient information for the right way to store your diabetes medicines
- Wear or carry your “I have diabetes” ID
- Carry extra food with you
- Check your blood sugar often. A change in schedule may mean changes in your usual patterns
