Flying with Type 1 Diabetes? It can be a little nerve wracking. I get it. We just flew for the first time after my son’s diagnosis, and I remember the nerves I felt before the trip. Today, I'm going to share everything I learned—the good, the bad, and the indispensable tips—for flying with diabetes, so your next airport adventure can glide as smooth as a plane on a clear day.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • [02:30] - Preparing to Fly with Type 1 Diabetes
  • [10:37] - Packing Tips for Flying with Type 1 Diabetes
  • [18:18] - Tips for Getting Through Airport Security with Type 1 Diabetes
  • [22:07] - Strategies for Managing Diabetes In-Flight and Post-Landing Care
  • [24:52] - Navigating Diabetes Management While Traveling


Whether you're navigating this for the first time or looking to refine your travel routine, this episode is your boarding pass to a less turbulent journey.
