Travel for Diabetics - Diabetes and Travel
Ready to get out of town? Well if you're like many people with diabetes, self-management has taught you to become a master organizer. Those skills will serve you well as you take a vacation or business trip. Managing your blood sugar when out of town comes down to planning ahead, packing wisely, sticking to your normal routine as much as possible, and making smart adjustments as the situation requires.
Just remember that being out of town may result in changes to your meal plan, normal activity level, and stress (even the good kind). Testing your blood sugar more often2 and keeping snacks with you at all times1 will help you make sure you're always feeling your best.
If you're traveling alone by plane, tell the flight attendant that you have diabetes, so they can help you in case of emergency.2
