Diyabet ve Seyahat

Diyabetli hastaların diğer bireylerden farklı olarak özel seyahat düzenlemeleri yapmaları gerekmektedir. Önceden planlama, diyabetik komplikasyonları en aza indirgemek ve evden uzakta oluşabilecek acil durumları önlemek suretiyle hoş bir seyahat deneyimi sağlamaktadır. Yapılmış çalışmalarda, diyabetli bireyler için olası sorunların, artmış enfeksiyon riski ve metabolik düzensizlik olduğu bildirilmektedir. Uluslararası uzak mesafedeki seyahat, diyabetli bireylerde, özellikle de insülin kullananlarda özel sorunlar oluşturmaktadır. İnsülin dozajlaması, zaman dilimi, yemek saatleri, iklim ve hava koşullarındaki değişiklikler ile uzun süreli hareketsiz kalmak glisemik kontrolle ilgili sorunlara yol açabilmektedir. Bu derlemede, diyabetik bireylerde seyahat ile ilişkili ortaya çıkabilecek sorunlar ve çözüm önerileri ile diyabet hemşirelerinin rollerine ilişkin öneriler sunulmuştur.

Diabetes and Travel

Diabetic patients must make special travel arrangements and allowances that their nondiabetic counterparts need not do. However, such advance planning can help minimize diabetic complications and prevent emergencies that may occur while away from home, thus ensuring a pleasant travel experience. According to the studies, problems suggested for diabetic travelers are increased risk of infections and metabolic dysregulation. International long distant travel can pose particular problems for individuals with diabetes, especially for those on insulin. Confusion on insulin dosing, change in time zones, the consequent change in meal times,  changes in climate and weather conditions, remain still for a long time and may pose problems with glycaemic control. In this review, problems that may arise related to travel and solution proposal in diabetes patients and recommendations for nursing care were examined.
