Tip of the Week - Thanksgiving Travel & Diabetes
Traveling during the upcoming holidays? Plan ahead to ensure blood sugar is under control
during your trip.
- Pack plenty of testing supplies and medication. If
you are traveling via commercial transportation (plane, train, etc.),
contact the Transportation Security Administration at <www.tsa.gov>
for current information of allowable supplies and medications and how these
must be presented at security check points.
- Discuss your meal plan with the folks you will be staying
with. Stress the importance of what time you eat and what types of
foods you prefer to eat to help control blood sugar.
- Continue exercising and remember to pack exercise attire.
A trip from home does not mean a vacation
from caring for diabetes. Plan ahead to control blood sugar and have a
safe and healthy holiday!
