Safety tips for people with high blood sugar when traveling. 

00:00:07.743 --> 00:00:11.543 
Consider the food options available when
you travel by car, plane or train. 

00:00:12.123 --> 00:00:15.323 
If you drive, carry a container of
healthy snacks and plenty of water. 

00:00:15.683 --> 00:00:19.868 
If you fly, bring options like fruit or
nuts so you don't have to 

00:00:19.868 --> 00:00:21.363 
resort to unhealthy convenience foods. 

00:00:22.363 --> 00:00:23.863 
Check your blood sugar regularly. 

00:00:24.603 --> 00:00:27.543 
Check regularly to detect any
increases or decreases while traveling. 

00:00:27.543 --> 00:00:31.156 
The earlier you detect them, the better
you can make adjustments to bring your 

00:00:31.156 --> 00:00:32.963 
blood sugar back into your target range. 

00:00:33.603 --> 00:00:37.233 
If you are more active or eat less or
more than usual, adjust your insulin 

00:00:37.233 --> 00:00:38.443 
as directed by your doctor. 

00:00:39.443 --> 00:00:40.963 
Enjoy new foods in moderation. 

00:00:41.683 --> 00:00:43.503 
Food can be a big highlight when traveling. 

00:00:44.143 --> 00:00:47.183 
You can still enjoy local cuisine
but enjoy it in moderation. 

00:00:47.543 --> 00:00:51.623 
Cruise ship buffets can make it easy to
eat even when you're no longer hungry. 

00:00:51.623 --> 00:00:55.663 
Adjust your food choices and portion
sizes so you don't eat more than you need. 

00:00:58.123 --> 00:01:00.683 
Pay attention to the temperature if you are traveling to a warm place. 

00:01:01.263 --> 00:01:05.043 
High temperatures, dehydration, and even
sunburn can affect your blood sugar levels.
