[QUOTE="s230787, post: 361782, member: 40203"] I have never been questioned in the UK about needles, insulin and or sweets that I am carrying should I go hypo. I do however always mention it to the person on security and have a docs letter. In Thailand when flying to Cambodia I had the security lady question me, she wanted to know what my pen was, which was quite hard to explain as she didn't speak very much English. The best i could think of, was pointing at myself and saying "no sugar" and "diabetes" :lol: her supervisor came over and seemed to tell her off for not understanding after giving me a big smile! In Bali the airport security had no idea what my pen was, he started twisting the end and pressing it down. my reaction squealing "Nooooooo" at him probably wasn't the best appoach, but all I could picture was my pen breaking! He then decided to search all of my bag, but he worked it out after about 10 minutes that I was diabetic after showing him my testing kit and how it all worked. I actually think he was really interested in it! [/QUOTE]
