Here’s the latest question from foodpicker.org:
I have type 2 diabetes and travel quite a bit. My eating & exercise are unpredictable at best when I travel and I’m having a difficult time managing my diabetes. What do you suggest?
Plan, plan and plan! Get the idea? But seriously by planning ahead you can be successful. First of all bring a small cooler or insulated lunch bag full of snacks and water. Try to avoid eating in the airport- there tends to be a lot of greasy fast food and sweets and they cost a small fortune too- just the cost of a bottle of water is staggering! Next call or look up the hotel online and see if they have a gym or pool. If they don’t then get creative. Weather permitting walk outside. If that’s not an option then walk the stairs for a workout. You could also bring some exercise bands and do some resistance training right in your hotel room. Research the area around the hotel a bit and see what restaurants and grocery stores are around so you don’t have to call room service. Next make sure you pack enough medication and testing supplies for your trip and it’s a good idea to bring extra just in case you get stuck in bad weather or have other travel delays. Bon Voyage!
