Executive summary about travel information by Jean Andrews

Those with well-controlled diabetes should have no trouble finding a suitable policy so there's no reason to give up travelling abroad for your holidays. Diabetes is one of the most commonly disclosed medical conditions in travel insurance policies, along with high blood pressure (hypertension).

There are different types of diabetes and different factors which might affect the level of cover and cost of any travel insurance policy.

- First, make sure that it will be possible to obtain travel insurance.

- Obtain the EHIC (European Medical Insurance Card) if you plan to visit participating countries within Europe. The EHIC should be obtained in addition to your private travel insurance policy.

- Obtain a doctor's certificate or letter and prescription which states your medical condition and need for the medications.

- Remember to adjust your medications to account for any changes in time zones as you travel.

There are different types of diabetes, such as Type 1 and Type 2 (which is the most common type, also known as adult-onset diabetes). Your diabetes and any other medical conditions must be declared as pre-existing conditions. If unsure you should ask your travel agent or check with the Department of Health. Contact any of the professional Diabetes organizations or the Department of Health for more detailed information and advice about travelling with diabetes. If you take the time to plan well in advance and prepare for any potential problems you should be able to travel as a diabetic - as long as you have a good travel insurance policy and your doctor's blessing!
