travel

When camping in the summer heat, it's a good idea to consider medication storage for diabetes management, and food safety

Don't let diabetes hold you back from enjoying your holiday or business travels. Use this checklist to get prepared. Travelling overseas with different time zones, climates, foods and hygiene standards can be successfully managed with pre-trip advice from your doctor or diabetes educator.

 Travel provides adventure and an escape from daily life. But to confidently enjoy your travels it's critical to be adequately insured.

One of the issues facing a person with diabetes when they travel is how to dispose of sharps. Sharps are any medical item that can puncture or cut the skin. Sharps common in managing diabetes include syringes, pen needles and lancets (finger prickers).
