Whether it is a work-related trip or a family vacation you\u2019ve been planning for months, travelling changes your daily routine inevitably. Changes in diet, sleep pattern, time zones, exercise routine could potentially off-track of your diabetes management plan.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry – this does not mean that you can\u2019t take a vacation. With a little caution and discipline, the only thing you\u2019ll have to worry about is making new memories!<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re sharing 10 things for people with diabetes to keep in mind while travelling:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure you pay a\u00a0visit to your doctor\u00a0<\/strong>before you leave. Get a routine check-up done and keep them informed about your travel plans. Getting a note about your health condition and medicine is also a good idea.<\/li>\n
  2. Take enough\u00a0medicines\u00a0<\/strong>to last you an extra week – you never know when they will come in handy. Please keep them in different bags with a note of which ones to take at what time.<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t be shy to\u00a0carry snacks\u00a0<\/strong>with you – hunger pangs may strike any time!<\/li>\n
  4. Try to stay on track with your\u00a0meal timings\u00a0<\/strong>(especially if you have to take medicines with them). This tip is useful for people flying long-distance.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay active –\u00a0<\/strong>walking might be the best way to explore a new place! Walk up and down the aisle while flying every hour or so.<\/li>\n
  6. Take time off to\u00a0relax and rejuvenate\u00a0<\/strong>– especially while your body adjusts to the new time zone.<\/li>\n
  7. Inform your travel partners about your medicines, signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar episode), and what to do in those situations.<\/li>\n
  8. Carry\u00a0shoes\u00a0<\/strong>with excellent support. Avoid walking bare feet and check them for cuts and bruises every day.<\/li>\n
  9. Changing time zones make your day longer or shorter – talk to your doctor about\u00a0adjusting your medicines\u00a0<\/strong>on the travel days<\/li>\n
  10. Lastly, if you\u2019re\u00a0travelling with a CGMS sensor,\u00a0<\/strong>inform the airport security and ask for a manual check instead of going through the scanner to avoid spoiling the sensor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And that’s it – we hope you find these tips useful and that they help you in planning a relaxing trip!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
