Plan Ahead

Depending on your level of organization, you may be used to packing at the last minute, but unlike other necessitites, diabetes supplies can't always be picked up at your point of destination. That means it's more important for you to approach vacation packing with a plan. A few weeks before your trip make out a list of everything you'll need, paying particular attention to the meds you'll need. Keep the list in a visible place so you can add to it as ideas occur to you.
