Episode Synopsis "The Leap - Ep. #3 - Traveling Abroad with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)"

EPISODE #3: The thought of traveling abroad with type 1 can certainly be overwhelming - all of the unfamiliar foods, language barriers, adjusting to new time zones, going through customs with medications, the list can be endless. Yet as Mark Twain said, "Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all of one's lifetime." In this week's episode of The Leap, we sat down with Dr. Ameer Hamdan, Katie Craft, and Frannie Burson - three globetrotters who have brought their T1D on adventures across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, Africa, and beyond. These guests break down a lot of the fears one might have before traveling abroad through answering questions like: "What should be included on my diabetes packing list?"; "How do I account for time zone changes with my basal insulin?"; "What do I need to know before going through customs with diabetes supplies?"; "What happens if I get sick abroad?"; and a whole lot more!
