Hi Everyone,

I am heading to Berlin Germany for work soon. I have never travelled overseas. I have an insulin pump, various medications and always travel with what feels like half a grocery shop.

I would appreciate any insights or tips on how to pack, circulstion socks and get through Customs for medications, pump supplies including CGM and snacks. 

Many thanks

Hi Sharon,

How exciting for you! What an adventure Berlin will be for your first time overseas.

If you take a look in another post in here on the type 1 forum (titled Air Travel), I have just answered some questions for another member with some links to travel fact sheets and information blog posts and articles on the Diabetes Australia website.

As mentioned in the other post also, if you still have remaining questions please don't hesitate to call us on 1800 177 055 and speak with one of our health professionals, and hopefully some of our well travelled members out there may also be able to offer you some advice.

Have a fantastic time! Would love to see some photos pop up in the forum from your adventure.

Best wishes, Ange.
