My daughter has flown to India twice. She has a letter from hospital with the list of equipment she is carrying on the place (needles, pens, etc) . I have flown with her on 2 different airlines and I was able to keep everything with me. They also got me some ice to keep the insulin cool. They were very helpful with my daughter.

Never faced any problem with the letter.

I fly a lot due to work and have never once had a problem with my medication. I have a letter from my GP detailing what medication I am carrying which I show at security and I will also inform the cabin crew. The only 'hassle' I sometimes have is with US customs where they sometimes take the insulin for analysis.. other than a 10 min delay whilst they test it no other problems.. I have never had my insulin taken from me..

If you are concerned I would check with the airline
