Welcome to The Diabetic Travel Guide!
Hi there, we’re Harriet and Steven, and we’re so excited to share our journey and diabetic travel tips with you.
We created this blog because traveling with diabetes can be tricky. Over the years we have learned so many diabetic travel tips. One of the biggest “aha” moments was when Harriet realized she’d run out of test strips on a trip. That’s when we knew we needed a solid checklist. We’ve also had moments of forgetting insulin or even something as simple as contacts. Each of those moments taught us how crucial preparation really is.
We realized there wasn’t a lot of information out there for travelers with diabetes, and we wanted to change that. This blog is our way of sharing what we’ve learned: the challenges, the tips, and all the little things that make traveling easier. And it’s not just for the person with diabetes—it’s also for partners, family, and friends. Steven found it helpful to have a checklist too, so he could make sure we had everything before we walked out the door.
We believe every journey is unique, and we’re here to help you feel confident exploring the world with diabetes. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a big vacation, we hope our stories and tips make your travels smoother. And of course, we’d love for you to join our community, share your experiences, and help us all learn and grow together.
