Hi all,
In February I am going abroad for the first time (I'm 19 and people struggle to believe that, but its true!)
I am type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice, I know I've got to take plenty of supplies, and I understand I need to get a letter from my GP regarding my condition. I also remember vaguely that the pump is not able to go through the security scanners, but apart from that is there anything else that I need to do? I'm looking forward to going but I'm really, really nervous about everything surrounding my diabetes and getting through the airport etc.
Many thanks in advance for any advice!
