Letter from the doc to fly?

Hi everyone

Going on holiday on Saturday (hurray!!!) but this is first time since diagnosis last August. I have contacted the travel company to say have diabetes etc. etc. but they say I need a letter from the doctor to be able to take testing kit on board plane etc. Is this normal and what do I ask the doctor to put?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards
CJ :)
 
I have no idea. However, maybe you should just ask your GP as this may be something they have done before for someone else and they know the drill?

Cheers + Bon voyage!

It is useful to have it so you can justify having needles etc on board. Once you have it just keep it with your passport. I have such a letter but have never actually been asked for it.
