[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1743674"] I would put EVERYTHING in your hand luggage, including fruit pastilles. You never know what you may need during the long flight and you don't want to risk losing anything if your luggage goes awry. I am not aware of any reason why you need to proactively declare anything unless they ask if you have any sharps or, at security spot something in the x-ray. I recommend having a doctors note on hand just in case. I have been travelling regularly (with transfers) with diabetes for nearly 15 years and only had to show mine once. I cannot remember/spot how you treat your diabetes - is it with a pen or a pump. Whichever it is, make sure you have backups of everything. If it is a pump, don't let it be x-rayed. You are unlikely to see your suitcase until you get to your final destination (a few countries, like USA are awkward with transfers but Denmark is fine). You may have to be security searched (through the x-rays) at Copenhagen. Different airports vary so I am not sure. The only reason I can think of to declare your fruit pastilles is if Japan has strict rules on importing food. Sorry I have never been to Japan (but would love to). Otherwise, there is no need. Have an amazing trip. [/QUOTE]
