[QUOTE="whitwamj53, post: 382772, member: 70582"] I have flown/travelled three times now with my Insulin Pump. I have a letter from the Diabetic Nurse about the Insulin Pump and also a letter from the Doctors stating what I carry in the form of pills I require. At security, inform security that the young one is fitted with the Insulin Pump and it is not to be removed. They should let him go through the body scanner with it on, this is not a Xray machine. I assume you carry emergency insulin just in case the Pump breaks down, put all the insulin files into the see through bag and explain what they are, I've never had a problem. As for Lucozade, this would probably be taken off you at security, and, as someone already said, you can buy them at the other side. I carry about five packs of Gluco Tabs, glucose energy tablets, dissolve very quickly, or can be chewed. 4g per tablet, 10 in a tube. Buy from Boots, Sainsbury or Asda. I get mine from my chemist.
