Wherever you go, diabetes travels along with you. With a little planning, you can handle your diabetes and enjoy your travel. It is always better to research about place where you are travelling, eg climate, food, facilities available by the hotel/travel agent. It is necessary to take health advice from your doctor preferably at least 4 to 6 week prior. When travelling abroad, crossing time zones is tricky for people with diabetes because it requires adjustments to your insulin dosage. You should mention your trip to your doctor at least a month before you leave so that your doctor can help you plan for the changes you will need to make to your insulin regimen.
