AS the summer holidays approach, the Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) knows that going away, especially abroad, is not straightforward for people with diabetes.

The added security now present in airports and on flights means that carrying injection devices and insulin on planes has become a big problem.

IDDT can provide free information about travelling and holidays to help both children and adults with diabetes.

The Holiday Information Pack provides tips on how to transport insulin and injection devices to other countries, how to look after insulin once you are there and tips on holiday insurance. The information is clear and up to date.

We will send this information to anyone who contacts IDDT on 01604-622837, via email at bev@iddtinternational.org or by simply visiting our website at iddtinternational.org
