Plan Ahead: Pack all essential supplies like insulin, testing equipment, and backup medications in your carry-on. Include extras in case of delays.
Keep Snacks Handy: Always have fast-acting glucose and healthy snacks within reach to manage unexpected blood sugar drops.
Organise Your Supplies: Use a travel case like Glucology's Diabetes Organisers to keep everything neat, secure, and easy to access.
Know the Local Cuisine: Research the food options at your destination to ensure you can maintain your usual dietary balance.
Check Time Zones: Adjust your medication schedule according to time differences, and consult with your healthcare provider if needed.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially when flying, to prevent dehydration, which can impact blood sugar levels.
Be Prepared for Security: Carry a doctor’s letter explaining your condition and medications to avoid issues during airport security checks.
Wear Medical ID: Have a medical ID bracelet or card indicating that you have diabetes in case of an emergency.
Test Often: Changes in routine, diet, and activity levels while travelling can affect blood sugar, so monitor it regularly.
Know Emergency Contacts: Research healthcare facilities at your destination and save emergency contacts, including your doctor’s number, just in case.

When you write about going away on holidays it seems to be just for a week tops. what about people who say fly to UK for 2 or 3 months. we need to take more than a weeks supply of everything. your containers only seem fit for a few days.
we have travelled to UK many times and i have tried several bags to hold multiple packs if insulin pens none of which were satisfactory. going through security once with blocks supplied with bag i had bought from diabetic supplier almost had the blocks keeping mu insulin cool removed by security. my husband grabbed first letter in my bag telling officer medical. i was allowed to continue but never used that bag again. i eventually bought a childs backpack from Smiggle that i could put freezer packs supplied from my pharmacist in and insulin in other side. for a month i take 2 months supply of insulin with me as well as twice amount of meds.
