How We Help Travelers with Diabetes
-
What is Glucose Getaways?
Glucose Getaways is a travel resource dedicated to helping people with diabetes explore the world safely and confidently. We create diabetic-friendly itineraries, packing checklists, and planning tools so you can focus on enjoying your trip without the stress.
-
Who are your itineraries designed for?
Our itineraries are designed for travelers with Type 1, Type 2, or gestational diabetes, as well as their friends, family, and travel partners who want a smooth and safe trip.
-
Are your itineraries medical advice?
No. While our guides include diabetic-friendly suggestions, they are not medical advice, just lived experience. Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your diabetes management while traveling.
-
Do your itineraries include hotels and restaurants?
Yes! We include recommendations for hotels that can store insulin (mini-fridges) and restaurants that offer low-carb or balanced options. These recommendations vary depending on the location and length of the itinerary.
-
Can I use your itineraries if I don’t have diabetes?
Absolutely. While our guides are tailored for diabetic travelers, they’re perfect for anyone who wants well-organized travel plans and healthier food options while exploring a destination.

What countries do you cover?
Currently, we have itineraries and checklist for Italy and are expanding to destinations like Iceland, Japan, Portugal, Costa Rica, Greece, Canada, Spain, Germany, the UK, and more.
-
Do you offer travel tips outside of itineraries?
Yes, our checklist, planners, social media, and blogs are filled with diabetic travel tips, packing guides, and advice for navigating airports, dining abroad, and staying safe on your journey.

Why did you start Glucose Getaways?
Glucose Getaways was born from the belief that diabetes should never hold someone back from experiencing the world. After navigating the challenges of traveling with diabetes firsthand, we wanted to create resources to make the journey easier for others so no one feels alone when planning their adventure.
