- Keep your health insurance card and emergency numbers (including your doctor's) handy.
- Plan for time zone changes so you know when to take your medication.
- If you use insulin, bring a glucagon emergency kit.
- For medication and travel-health planning, consult your doctor or pharmacist before travel.
On the Road and In the Air
- Move around every hour or two to reduce the risk of blood clots.
- Pack smaller portions of healthy snacks and bottled water.
- Keep all diabetes supplies in your carry-on luggage; keep medications and snacks at your seat.
- For flights: request diabetic or low-fat meals in advance, and wait for your meal before taking insulin.
- If the airline doesn't offer a meal, bring your own.
- When drawing insulin on a plane, do not inject air into the bottle due to cabin pressure.
Super Visa Insurance Requirements

- Valid for at least one year from your date of entry
- Covers healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation (return to home country if needed)
- Minimum $100,000 coverage (higher amounts available)

- Always read your policy and consult your advisor to understand definitions, exclusions, and eligibility
Why Proper Insurance Matters
