Good Morning Everyone,
I have been type 2 diabetic taking Lantus insulin for 10 years and am going to take my first overseas holiday in Crete for a week in early May. I read that one needs a letter from you doctor or diabetes team to carry needles and insulin on the plane, yet my doctor says a copy of repeat prescription is sufficient. I have also just phoned Birmingham airport special services who say nothing is required for a small quantity, but bring a prescription repeat or letter if you want to.
Any comments as to what happens in practice would be welcome.
Would be carrying insulin, needles and various tablets in my hand luggage.
