[QUOTE="dowuchyalike, post: 290996, member: 32924"] My experience exactly. Maybe I've been lucky but I travelled extensively from 2001 to 2009 and never had any kind of letter or diabetic card nor was I ever asked for one. Most times I never even declared that I was carrying insulin and/or needles but on the occasions where they were picked up by x-ray machines, some airlines made me wear a small sticker on my top to indicate such. When I actually got on the plane, the cabin crew always just ignored the stickers and there was never any issue with me being separated from my supplies. Even when I travelled for the first time with my pump this year, I refused point blank to take it off for x-ray (it can interfere with the function), so they just waved the wand over it and sent me on my way. No hassle. [/QUOTE]
