[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 179473, member: 13451"] Get a letter from your doctor saying that you have diabetes and that the insulin is needed for your condition. Don't put the insulin in the luggage hold, it will freeze and render it useless. Keep it in your hand luggage. If you have the letter from your doctor there should be no problem taking it through the airport. Take extra supplies incase it gets lost or stolen whilst you are on holiday. When we travelled I kept one set of supplies in my bag and my husband carried another set with him. That way if one was lost we had a backup supply. Make sure you have enough supplies to cover your holiday plus extra incase there is a delay in you returning home (volcanic ash etc). The weather is much warmer and you may want to keep your insulin cool. It should not be stored above 25C (I think that's the temp). We used the frio pouches to carry the injection pens in and they worked very well. We travelled to Spain and as we don't really speak spanish we carried a card translated into spanish which contained emergency details about Type 1 Diabetes. We also had a few words translated into spanish which we could refer to, words like: hypo, diabetes, sugar, emergency etc. [/QUOTE]
