Spring is in the air – and that means Spring Break is right around the corner!

Travel can be a bit of a challenge for people with T1D; however, we’ve got some tips to help you fuel your wanderlust!

Plan as you pack – Make a list of all your supplies and check them off as you go:

• Insulin
• Syringes
• Test Strips
• Lancets
• Injector Pens (if used)
• Extra infusion sets (if used)
• Emergency glucagon
• Copies of prescriptions for medications and devices

Remember to keep your essentials – like your insulin – in your carry-on bag!

Pack extra snacks and low items, such as glucose tabs, as flights and food service can be delayed.

Traveling – If you’re flying, be sure to allow for extra time to go through security. Let the TSA Agents know that you are wearing either a Continuous Glucose Monitor or an insulin pump if need be.

Lastly, remember to enjoy your vacation!
