I travel quite a bit . My pump and app and my pdm take care of the time changes although I have to switch to manual for the time changes to work. Always take spares pens needles vials sensors Its like a go bag. I once had to buy insulin in another country not a good experience so make sure...

Dexcom G6 is much better gives constant readings without even having to scan and they're not as bulky
