There are several threads with this issue, but summarizing;Calculate the material you will need in the time you are and calculate the double for what can happen: insulin, strips, 2 glucometer, needles ....
Do not invoice it, always in the hand suitcase.
To conserve insulin in optimal conditions during the flight, the best of a cold portfolio.
Some food, cookies, sandwiches ..... also azuxr for the descents, I usually buy some Coca Cola or juice after passing control in the stores inside.
Another very important thing;In report from your doctor in English and Spanish saying that you are diabetics and that you need to have all that with you.

@"Lidia Martin Nadales", good day.As Gala says, especially carries all the material in your hand backpack.Do not put anything in your suitcase, especially because your bags can be lost.The cold portfolio, cold brand, works very well, cost less than 20 euros, you can buy them online.On my trips I also wear spare batteries.2 Glucagon.As for adjusting the basal schedule (Lantus), because I never did it with trips of more than 36 hrs.Now with three less.Have a good trip.

@"Gala" The other day I went to my doctor to ask for the report and it seemed to be talking to him in Chinese.He told me to take a printed model to copy it, do you know where I can find one?

@"Solararia" Is the basal then when you travel, do you keep putting it at the same Spanish time?I go to Miami in a few weeks (6 hours difference) and I don't know what to do

@"Gala" but the doctor is supposed to give me medications for all the time I leave?It is what is most afraid of me, I'm going 40 days and don't call me medications

Well, depending on when you go, if you have to seal the inspection recipes, talk to your doctor

@"nigiri", good day.I am "Sudaca" for friends.When I travel (2 times a year) to my country (8hrs difference), then ... here I click Lantus at 12 night.I arrived in my country and click Lantus at 12 night, I mean, 24+8.And all good, but I am reckless.Now with Tresiba it will be safer.But, there is a but my trips are for 5 weeks, so better adapt soon.If your trip is for a weekly or so ... better to keep the Spanish schedule, I think ... enjoy the capital of the sun!Greetings.

Man, you have plenty of time but the recipes do not make you the endocrine, right?where are you from?Here in Madrid we have the electronic recipe that the medications are assigned monthly but if I needed more I would have to tell my head doctor, in the case of the Tresiba, as it goes by inspection I have to go for the physical recipe but it is also to meHard doctor @"Lidia Martin Nadales"

I live in the Canary Islands, and if the GP does also here, I will ask for an appointment with him to do them ...

@"Solaria" of course I will only spend 8 days so I had thought not to disrupt the schedule, as the difference is 6 hours, if I put it here at 22:00 there put it at 4:00 p.m. and that's it.Thank you so much!

The report, I brought a role by me saying that "Fulano to de Tal", has T1 diabetes, continuous glucose meter carrier (or/and pump ...) and needs to carry everything necessary for its treatment andA list of what I carry: insulin, strips, glucometer, needles, sensors, glucose .....
You also put it in English.
I took him on a pendrive and she printed it with the letterhead and signed it and put the seal and that's it.

@"Lidia Martin Nadales".Now I use Tresiba and last 36 hrs (+-), so there is no problem.The problem is with Lantus that duration is less than 24 hours.So you had to adjust the schedules not to run out of basal.Here in Forum there are several threads of "trips abroad" and talk about how to adjust the basal.Guidelines were discussed if you travel to the east/west.Greetings.

I use Tresiba, and the time difference of the Canary Islands with Uruguay is 3 hours, I do not think there is a problem with it, I always put it at 10pm.But there are days that for the work I put it at 11pm or even at 1 a.m. and I have not had a problem with it, my glucose has continued to be good

I have traveled many times to Uruguay Montevideo and zero problem, I don't know what time you will.
To consider.
Everything you need insulin reactive strips glycometer needles and the usual you use and as @Gala take it with you at all times.
Cold bag if you go in summer from December to March there are temperatures of more than 30 degrees.
June July and August usually makes it quite cold.
If you need something urgent, the Spanish association in MVDO has good doctors.
Travel insurance just in case.
Good trip and enjoy that wonderful little country and don't forget to go to Punta del Este, greetings.
