Traveling with Diabetes: Essential Tips for a Smooth Journey
Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long-haul flight, travel is meant to be enjoyed — not stressed over. And while living with diabetes means extra planning, it shouldn’t stop you from exploring the world with confidence.
With a few smart tips (and the right tools), you can stay on top of your care routine no matter where life takes you.
✈️ Before You Go
1. Pack Smart
Bring twice the supplies you think you’ll need — including lancets, insulin, test strips, snacks, and low supplies like glucose tabs.
2. Keep Essentials in Your Carry-On
Always keep your most important diabetes supplies within arm’s reach — never in checked luggage.
3. Carry a Doctor’s Note
A letter from your healthcare provider can be helpful at airport security and if any issues arise during your trip.
🚗 On the Go
1. Stick to Your Routine (As Much As Possible)
Time zones and travel days can throw off your schedule. Set reminders to stay on top of meals, medications, and testing.
2. Check Your Blood Sugar Often
Travel can be unpredictable. Stress, food changes, and activity levels can all affect your numbers — test regularly.
