[QUOTE="davidburkett, post: 587728, member: 77561"] This makes me angry - please read carefully. To fly on a civil airliner you do NOT need a letter from your doctor stating you use Insulin. It is prudent to take a copy of your repeat prescription (ie the bit you tear off and keep) to show it is prescribed medication. And when you are passing through airport security, make them aware you are Type 1/2 on insulin and HAVE SHARPS in your hand baggage. Trust me, they see it all the time. Make sure you keep all needles/test meter/strips/pens/vials together and never in the hold luggage. I have been working in aviation for well over 10 years, have been Type 1 for longer and promise you that you don't need a letter, paid for or otherwise. I also, on a daily basis, X-ray things destined for flight and can confirm an injection pen is very easy to spot. [/QUOTE]
