What is necessary to bring along on a long trip with diabetes? Sometimes I feel like diabetes just has it’s own luggage to bring along, physically […]
Travelling with diabetes requires quite some extra effort. And planning. And “in case of” and “in case shit happens” preparation. Especially if you’re planning to travel far, across the oceans and time zones. Travelling with diabetes isn’t impossible by any means. I’d say it’s actually the opposite. You just have to know and prepare properly […]
