TCOYD TV: Traveling with Diabetes

Dr. Edelman talks to Adam Levbarg, a person living with type 1 diabetes who has traveled to many parts of the world while managing his condition. Adam sheds light on getting the most out of trips abroad, including precautions, suggestions for packing, issues related to insurance, prescriptions, and language barriers. He shares how travel has taught him things about his own diabetes management, and encourages people to not let diabetes scare them away from exploring the world.
