Planning Travel and Insulin management requires preparation, but it shouldn’t stop you from exploring the world.<\/p>\n
There are lot of things to plan when taking a trip. Patients with diabetes taking Insulin should be able to enjoy their trip without any problem. However, this could only happen if things are planned well in advance. [1]<\/p>\n
If you are not sure, it is important to liaise with your doctor well in advance of the trip. <\/p>\n
It is important to make sure following things are covered:<\/p>\n
Make sure to take enough supplies. This includes, Insulin, tablets, needles, pens and syringe.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Letter from your doctor detailing the need of your medication.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Blood glucose monitors <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Hypoglycemia treatment (e.g. glucose tablets)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sharp disposal box<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is also important to plan what food and meals will be available. During travel, it might be a good idea to keep more closer eye on the blood glucose (check more often). <\/p>\n
Storing Insulin at the right temperature is important. If the weather at your destination is hot then keep the Insulin in a cool place. Avoid exposure of direct sunlight. If the weather at your destination is freezing cold then it is important to make sure that Insulin does not freeze. [2]<\/p>\n
Always put and store Insulin in hand luggage. Keeping Insulin in the hold of the plane will freeze the Insulin causing it to lose its effectiveness. [3]<\/p>\n
It is important to make sure to cover yourself with right vaccination and travel insurance. <\/p>\n
