Soon 350 million people will be living with diabetes and at least 25% will need to take insulin every day.
Travelling with diabetes can be difficult - lack of information, hassles at the airport, delays, time zone changes can ruin a trip whether it is for business or pleasure. It doesn't have to be like that.
We will be asking major Airlines, Hotels, Travel Sites and Travel Insurance companies to help as well as companies that are already in the diabetes space - manufacturers of insulin, pumps, pens, glucose strips and the medicines that people living with diabetes have to take every day. We will also be keeping you up-to-date with advances in technology that have the potential to make travelling with diabetes just that little bit easier.
Wherever possible we will use the new Social Media to achieve our goals. Most importantly we need feedback from travellers themselves - tell us your stories, share your photographs and memories. At present we cannot cure diabetes but we can make living with diabetes a whole lot easier.
