[QUOTE="Bill_St, post: 1744102, member: 310899"] The U.K. Civil Airline Authority has a very useful page for medical professionals. [URL]https://www.caa.co.uk/Passengers/Before-you-fly/Am-I-fit-to-fly/Guidance-for-health-professionals/Diabetes/[/URL] So always have all your diabetes supplies in hand luggage. If you need more space or weight because of this, contact the airline Special Assistance dept. to get a waiver for extra hand baggage in the cabin. You may need a letter from a medical professional for this but clinics are used to supplying that. Pump users should always disconnect it when pressure is changing at beginning and end of a flight.
