Holiday help for diabetes sufferers

THE summer holidays are approaching and your readers are preparing to go on holiday. The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) knows that going on holiday, especially abroad, is not straight forward 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.

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.

We are happy to send out this information to your readers and they can contact IDDT on 01604 622837, email bev@iddtinternational.org or simply visit our website, www.iddtinternational.org
