[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1902705, member: 222691"] Don't put your insulin in hold luggage. Luggage can get very cold in the hold and official guidelines are to keep it in hand luggage. I've travelled quite extensively with insulin, and have never been stopped and asked for a Drs letter or prescription, and that includes countries in the Middle East famous for being very strict about which medications they allow into the country. The other thing is, for a week long holiday, depending on dosages, how much in the way of supplies do you really need? It is easy to overestimate. For a week I would take one of each pen(I'm on 2) a handful of needles and my test kit and a small tube of glucose tabs. Thats it, no need to go mad.............. [/QUOTE]
