How many of you have ever been pulled up in airport security for your diabetic kit?
I used to always declare it at the check-in desk, but to be honest I've never got stopped for it, so I don't even mention it now. I carry my pens on me but even when I've been searched, nobody's ever been bothered about it once I explain what it is. Seems a little strange to me seeing as there's so much focus on preventing terrorism using nail scissors and suchlike...
I also carry a (rather crumpled now) letter from my doctor authorising me to carry my stuff, but again I've never been asked for proof...
