[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2000687, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=501395]@anna198[/USER] Welcome to the forum, your holiday sounds great, try not to worry though remember type 1's fly all the time :) I am covered through our bank, however once you apply your cover will be from the date you specify, I can't comment on which organisation offers the best deal etc so have a good search online first. In regards to a GP's letter, I had one written about 6 years ago and used it once and have flown a number of times since without being asked for it, I didn't feel it was necessary. Going through airports is fine, they see many type 1's, yes do carry all your items in hand luggage, take 3x what you would normally use, so you don't need to rely on finding a pharmacy whilst there. Everything will be scanned in your hand luggage, you should easily obtain a meter from a pharmacy there, maybe just check where your local healthcare facilities are before you travel. Try not to worry though, once you've done this your confidence will improve and try to have a great time too :) [/QUOTE]
