This is the translation that Google provided (apologies if it is not accurate but I do not speak Spanish and, as you have noticed, the usual language on the forum is English).
The e-mail is the official answer of the laboratory novordish, therefore in order to avoid any kind of miss interpretation I leave it as it is. By other hand we'll done by using the translation that was the goal.
The way I read this, there is nothing that says you cannot take insulin through security x-rays. It says, they have performed no testing. However, as the rest of this thread says, many of us have done so many times with no issues.
I usually say to everyone one phrase "ignorance is a blessing" like "ignorance is happiness", what really this means on this case?

The ionisation radiation (X-ray or gamma) is used to perform sterilisation therefore it destroy's the cells, on this case let's threat the insulin as a cell. Nonetheless it isn't but you have a further explanation on the link:

Only based on the previous knowledge you already have enough knowledge to raise the reasonable doubt in your head to not pass insulin in the security tunnels.
It says, they have performed no testing.
Exactly, do you know why? Because no one wants to open a can of worms! If this is made much of the marketing information, that is a lye, is gone be put on the bin! Example, does glargine (lantus) have an effect of 24 hours? Or really it is only 18 to 20 hours of action. Etc in order types of insulin.
Also why the insulin doesn't have any kind of test in order to test if the efficiency is still good? Because financially speaking, it doesn't make sense! Therefore no one wants to create the reasonable doubt to question the golden chicken!
However, as the rest of this thread says, many of us have done so many times with no issues.
You mean that you don't know or have evidence that the insulin suffers degradation of efficiency! By start, the diabetes is a deasese that sucks, is not linear, as it has plenty of variables in order to the insulin to make effect, therefore your answer/assumption is the same as everyone and is not valid, but I do not follow that kind of rationality.
It like, if everyone jumps from the bridge, I need to follow them! No!
Based in what you saw before, you already have enough knowledge to say that really passing insulin by ionisation radiation it'll degradate the insulin and by that way do not put ir on security tunnels of ionisation radiation. This is exactly the same of exposing the insulin to high temperatures and then saying that you didn't feel differences on the effect of the insulin.
Feel free to take the insulin in your hand if you feel it is necessary but I have never had the need to do so.
I fight for my rights and due to that sometimes I struggle with difficulties on life, and one of plenty, is the ignorance of the security agent's of the security tunnels of airports, that give me the phrase exactly as yours, "everyone passes it without problem".
The European law allows you to pass it by secondary by your petition and therefore verified without ionisation radiation.
The law allows your several types of checks, but the ordinary people do not know it!
I hope that everybody start to perform like me in order to educate the security agent's and stop to trump our rights.
By the way, in the airports where I travel, all the security agent's already know me and specifically avoid me!
And now I’m having a slight panic about it, if anyone has used the Eurostar or just has any advice about travelling abroad it’ll be much appreciated.
