When you are traveling, it is wise to keep enough insulin and syringes, lancets, the test strips, individual alcohol pads for twice the expected time away from home. If you are on oral pills to control your diabetes, keep a bottle near you at all times and have the other bottle stored with your suitcase or make up bag. Just like your passport, they are important. When traveling internationally, you want the have the proper response initiated by their medical team, in case of emergency. If you cannot get a medical alert item for your person be sure to have your medical information easily accessible in your wallet or purse.
Disposable contacts are the best to travel with.
Store a prescription for your eyes and put them with the rest of the prescriptions. Just like when you are home be sure to keep glucose tablets, or paste on hand, candy in your pockets, or just some sugar packets from the hotel where you had a meal. Inc.
