Travel tips for Type 1 diabetic

@jeffp it sounds like you’ve got this pretty well figured out. You’ve got the supplies, gear and snacks suggested by the great members above. I’m curious about your travels. How often and how far in terms of dealing with time zone changes? I’m also interested in your plans for an insulin pump. I am using a Dexcom G6 and an Omnipod 5. At the time (a year or two ago) the Dexcom G7 didn’t communicate with the pump and I wanted them to work together. Has that changed?

Hi @cehunt57 ,
I typically fly to Europe a few times a year so were talking about 7 - 9 hour flights plus some shorter connections.
When I got the Dexcom G7 it was pretty early in my diabetic journey and I didn't really have any input into the choice of GCM. You can find the integrations here, https://www.dexcom.com/en-us/partnerships/integrations-and-compatibility and https://www.dexcom.com/en-us/partnerships/pumps-and-pens. It looks like the G7 is now integrated with the Omnipod 5.
I haven't done much research on pumps yet. I have looked a bit at the Medtronic MiniMed 780G system at https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/switch2system but that's about it.
