Summer is here — and so are long-awaited vacations, weekend getaways, and adventures near and far. For people living with diabetes, traveling doesn’t have to be stressful, but it does require a little more planning.

Here are a few smart tips to make sure your trip is smooth, safe, and enjoyable — without letting diabetes slow you down:

1. Pack Smart (and Then Double-Check)

Bring twice the supplies you think you'll need — insulin, test strips, CGM sensors, pump supplies, glucose tablets, and snacks. Airlines lose bags, trains get delayed, and you’ll never regret having backups.

2. Keep Medications at the Right Temperature

Insulin and GLP1s are heat-sensitive and can lose effectiveness if exposed to high temperatures, even for short periods. Whether you’re walking around a sun-soaked city or stuck in traffic, make sure your medication is protected.

3. Time Zones Matter

Crossing time zones? Talk to your healthcare provider about how to adjust insulin and meal timing. Apps and glucose logbooks can help you track doses, monitor patterns, and stay consistent, even when your schedule isn’t.

4. Keep Emergency Info Handy

Always wear a medical ID, keep emergency contact info with you, and know how to access medical help at your destination. It’s also smart to bring a letter from your doctor, especially if you’re flying with syringes, pens, or pump equipment. Luckily your VIVI Cap is recognized by TSA. 

5. Enjoy Yourself

The most important tip? Don’t let your medication be a barrier. With a little planning and the right tools, you can go anywhere — confidently and safely.

P.S. No batteries, no stress, no last-minute prep — just a little device that’s always got your insulin and medications covered. If you’ve met VIVI Cap, you already know.
