About
Diabetes Travel Helper started with a simple frustration: packing for a trip with diabetes means juggling pump supplies, CGM sensors, insulin, and backups, and forgetting one thing can ruin a trip.
So we built free tools to take the guesswork out:
- Packing Calculator, tell it your pump, CGM, and trip length, and it builds a personalized packing list with safety buffers.
- Time Zone Planner, crossing time zones with insulin? Get a shifted timing schedule for your trip.
- Travel Guides, plain-English guides on TSA rules, airport security with devices, keeping insulin cool, and more.
This site is built by a diabetic, for diabetics. Everything here is general guidance, always confirm your diabetes plan with your care team.
What the tools do
Figuring out what to pack for travel with diabetes is stressful. You're juggling pump supplies, CGM sensors, insulin, and backups, all with a hard limit on luggage space. Our free diabetes travel packing calculator takes the guesswork out: tell it your pump, your CGM, and how many days you're traveling, and it generates a personalized diabetes packing list with safety buffers built in.
Flying across time zones with diabetes raises one big question: when do I take my insulin? Our free insulin time zone calculator builds a shifted dosing schedule for your trip, enter your home and destination time zones, travel dates, and regimen, and get a clear plan for departure day, your time at your destination, and the trip home. It adjusts timing only, never dose amounts.
