People with Diabetes can enjoy travelling just as much as anyone else. They can usually do all the things that they wish to do when traveling with a little extra planning.

The Clinical Pharmacology Department of the Dasman Diabetes Institute is launching its second one day community outreach campaign, “Ask about your Medication – During Hajj” at the Marina Mall on October 21, 2011 which aims to enhance the awareness of the public in the state of Kuwait about medication and travel in particular at the HAJJseason which is soon to come.

Keeping well during Hajj is a challenge for people with diabetes. However, with proactive planning and education, it may prove to be an excellent opportunity for reviewing management and enhancing diabetes education to reduce diabetes-related short- and long-term problems that they could encounter during performing Hajj. People with diabetes should have enough time to consider a management plan. It is important that both; Diabetes patients and healthcare professionals are well informed regarding the effects of Hajj on Diabetes and are able to take all reasonable steps required to stay healthy while they are away from home.
