Tip of the Week:
Traveling during the upcoming holidays? Plan ahead to ensure blood sugar is under control
during your trip.
- Pack plenty of testing supplies and medication. If
you are traveling via commercial transportation (plane, train, etc.),
contact the Transportation Security Administration at <www.tsa.gov>
for current information of allowable supplies and medications and how these
must be presented at security check points.
- Discuss your meal plan with the folks you will be staying
with. Stress the importance of what time you eat and what types of
foods you prefer to eat to help control blood sugar.
- Continue exercising and remember to pack exercise attire.
A trip from home does not mean a vacation
from caring for diabetes. Plan ahead to control blood sugar and have a
safe and healthy holiday!

diabetes, more attention needs to be given to caring for yourself. Blood sugar can become elevated when you are sick even if you have not eaten

We eat out a lot, could you give us some suggestions for Japanese and Chinese?
Exercise Tip:
Carry a water bottle with you when you exercise.
Hydration influences effectiveness during exercise. Drink a cup of water
prior to physical activity and an additional cup of water every 15-20 minutes
during exercise.
Unsure if you are getting enough water? A good way
to check is to weigh yourself before and after exercise. If you weigh less
after exercise, you have lost water. Replenish this loss with 2 cups of
water for every pound lost during exercise.
