Flying

A letter frm your GP may be helpful, I usually carry my prescription with me too, and always declare that I have insulin pens and needles. I've flown loads of times and never had a problem. Make sure all of your insulin is in your hand luggage as low temperatures in the hold can damage it. Have a great flight, good luck

I fly a fair bit and was given a letter from the diabetics clinic at the hospital when I started injecting.

Hi I'm type one diabetic and spend about 80% of my time travelling with work and travelling around ! I have never been asked once about my Insulin or needles ... And I have been diabetic for 20 years ... Having said that I do carry a letter with me just to be safe althou like I said I have never been asked for it ! It is just a note from the docs stating what insulin I am on and detailing my prescription needs etc ... It would also be helpful to have this on you if u ever need to go to a pharmacy whilst away to get any medication
