[Diabetes-Talk] travel and diabetes in public

[Estelnalissi]

Dear Amber,

Docs, nurses, educators differ, I'm just sharing that my Indo's nurse 
practitioner told me to inject my humolog 30 minutes before eating. I've 
injected discreetly in the car if I'm with friends, or in the restroom 
before ordering. It fits in nicely to do it while waiting for a table. I'm 
still too sugary to worry about my bg going too low if the meal takes longer 
than a half hour to arrive.

Always with love,

Lissi

Hi all:
I will be traveling a lot for work in the next year.  What are some things I 
should know for traveling by plane with diabetes?  Do I have to have a 
doctor’s letter or anything, or do TSA agents give you problems about 
needles or lancets or your CGM?  Can  a CGM go through X-ray equipment?  I 
will be staying in hotels and I need to keep my insulin cold. If I ask can I 
get a small fridge?
Any other things I should know?
How about eating in public and diabetes?  I have to take my insulin  right 
before eating. Do you just go to the bathroom and do your shot?
Sorry I’m just a little paranoid here. Thanks for any advice.
:)
Amber
