It is important that you test your blood glucose (BG) more frequently while you are
traveling. The routine hassle of travel, including stress, changes in time zones,
schedules and activity levels, meal times and types of food, can all affect your
diabetes control. Be extra attentive to monitoring your BG frequently, and be
prepared to respond if needed.
Your emergency kit should include these items:
• Fast-acting glucose tablets.
• Blood glucose monitoring supplies.
• Urine or blood ketone monitoring supplies.
• Extra MiniMed-compatible infusion set and MiniMed reservoir.
• Extra new AA lithium or alkaline batteries, or fully charged NiMH batteries.
