How To Travel With Type 1 Diabetes: Tips From World Travelers

In this special Diabetech episode, we’re live from Valencia with the incredible Jen Greaves — fellow T1D, digital nomad, and content creator behind the Type One-on-One podcast. Jen spent four months backpacking through Latin America with Remote Year, and since I’ve been traveling the world for the past ten months too, I knew I had to bring her on the show.

We swap stories, compare notes, and get real about what it takes to manage type 1 diabetes while living out of a suitcase — from international insulin logistics to the emotional challenges and major rewards of life on the road. Whether you're planning a short trip or a long-term adventure, this episode is packed with insight.
