Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells become resistant to insulin or the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. This metabolic disorder affects how the body processes blood sugar, causing symptoms including increased thirst/urination, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, and weight changes. Travel presents unique challenges for diabetic management through disrupted routines, dietary changes, increased activity, time zone adjustments affecting medication timing, and stress. Maintaining proper control during travel is crucial to prevent both acute complications (hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis) and long-term damage to eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system. Management typically involves blood glucose monitoring, oral medications (metformin, sulfonylureas, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors), injectable medications (GLP-1 receptor agonists, insulin), dietary modifications, exercise, and stress management. Mexican endocrinologists provide comprehensive care often including nutritional counseling and diabetes education, with prescription medications available at significantly lower costs than in the US. Many diabetes supplies and medications are available without prescription in Mexican pharmacies, providing convenient access for travelers who may have forgotten supplies or need replacements.
