Travel Confidently With Diabetes
Practical itineraries, tips, and tools created by and for travelers with diabetes.
My Story
Traveling with diabetes shouldn’t mean missing out.
When I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 16, I had to figure everything out alone. Managing the condition was one thing, but traveling with it felt impossible. I avoided trips for years out of fear, ruined insulin, security hassles, or not finding the right food.
Then I finally took a leap with a 2-week trip to Italy and realized how much was missing for travelers like me. That’s why I created Glucose Getaways, a place for diabetics to find honest, practical, experience-based travel guidance, not fluff or fear.
Because travel should be empowering, not overwhelming.
Why Choose Glucose Getaways?
Because we get it.
Glucose Getaways was built by someone who’s been there, navigating airports, packing insulin, decoding foreign menus, and stressing over every “what if.” We’ve turned that lived experience into a practical resource, empowering and 100% diabetes-aware.
✅ Built by a Type 1 traveler, not a generic travel blog
✅ Real-world advice that goes beyond “just bring snacks”
✅ Expertly crafted itineraries with diabetic-friendly tips baked in
