[QUOTE="parentjoe, post: 1902327, member: 37936"] Hi My young son is type 1 and we’ve been to some amazing places all over the world. It’s all about routine. I always have a travel pack made up (less insulin) and I keep it in the medicine cabinet ready to go rather than pack every time. It’s not as much as you think once you really drill down what you need. Easy to take too much. Also vital to take a second kit carried separately. I got to Florida after 10 hours traveling a few years ago and the insulin got lost somewhere in Miami airport. Walgreens charged me $900 for a bottle of Nova rapid after a doctor charged me $200 for a prescription. Since then I always carry two sets. Frio bags are fine in customs, you just need to put them through the scanner separately. Always carry doctors letter and if you are on pump allways print out the settings By getting organised you can have the same holiday as everyone else. [/QUOTE]
