It's tempting sometimes on the road to sort of decide that the rules at home that we all follow with good diabetes practice don't really apply anymore. You start eating things that you normally wouldn't eat at home and you eat them in quantities that you wouldn't normally eat. When I go on the road a lot and I go to business meetings, I don't always have a lot of choice over what I get served and the foods that are put in front of me. That requires that you make some decisions about what you want to eat, how much you want to eat, whether you want to choose one item over another. One thing I like to do is take a little bit of time to carefully read the menu. I don't look at the first choice and say okay, give me this. I actually try to look and see are there decisions and choices I can make that will help me reduce the amount of calories I'm eating and eat foods that have less of a bang on my glucose. You may ask for things to be prepared differently. You may ask them to halve something. You may ask them to make substitutions. When I go to restaurants that I'm not familiar with, I'll ask for a to-go box and have them divide my meal before they bring it out. That way I can look at what I get and decide whether it's enough for me to eat and I usually have a snack for later on when I need it. It's important when you're on the road to maintain some good physical activity. Most hotels have a gymnasium or someplace that you can do exercise. Other times you can just decide to walk or take advantage of the place you're at, to take a look around. Like all of us, my desire is to have my diabetes at the best possible control and that extends to when I'm on the road and the situation sometimes is a little bit more challenging. I want to do it for all the reasons that all of us want to do it; I want the best possible health.
