Do you know what goes in a diabetic travel pack? You need to create a diabetic travel pack to have with you at all times, whether your trip takes you around the block, around the country, or around the world. These are a few essentials to include in your diabetic travel pack.

Fast and Slow Carbs

There are times when people who have diabetes need carbs. You need to have snacks on hand to quickly combat lows wherever you go.

Water

Hydration is essential, especially if you have diabetes. Having a couple of bottles of water available can keep you hydrated throughout your day.

Lotion

Dry skin is a constant problem among individuals with diabetes. Keeping an absorbent hand cream and body lotion with you can help you keep your skin hydrated and healthy.

Blood sugar testing kit

You still need a blood sugar testing kit in your travel pack, even if you have a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The reason for this is if your CGM fails.

Basic first aid kit

Keep a basic first-aid kit with you for unexpected cuts, scrapes, wounds, and sores. This kit should contain anti-bacterial ointment, alcohol wipes, bandages, and other essentials commonly found in a first aid kit.

Insulin

You never know when you will need a corrective dose of insulin. Having insulin and fresh needles and other supplies readily available means that you do not have to make a hasty exit from your travels to manage your health.

Rescue Treatment

Lows can be dangerous, especially if you travel without an emergency dose of your prescribed rescue treatment, like Gvoke. Make sure that you include it in your travel pack.
