With some planning, people with diabetes can travel safely and comfortably.
Pack extra medication and supplies in your carry on bag, bring snacks, keep a copy of prescriptions, and plan for time zone changes. Check your blood sugar more often while traveling.
Pin Tip
Carry a letter from your doctor describing your supplies for airport security.
Work With Your Care Team
This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diabetes care is personal, so follow the targets, medications, and meal plan set by your doctor, diabetes educator, or dietitian.
Know the Emergency Signs
Call 911 if someone with diabetes becomes confused, cannot stay awake, has a seizure, or cannot safely swallow. Seek urgent care for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep rapid breathing, or a fruity breath odor.
Quick Reminder
Keep your diabetes supplies, snacks, and emergency contact information together in one easy to grab kit.
