[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1902713, member: 488171"] Don't put anything you're not prepared to lose in hold luggage :-) I did once have the cabin crew get a bit shirty about the pen, saying I could attack them with it, but not had any problem for a while - though I do have the very dog-eared doctor's letter just in case. A week = about 35 needles at 5 a day, I'd take 50-60 for safety - eg in case I need lots of corrections. I'd take a spare vial of each insulin, or a spare pen if on prefilled. Probably a spare sensor these days - I did knock one off and felt somewhat lost without it. Enough test strips too. But this is all still hardly anything. I'm moderately paranoid about the amount of food I carry around too, though this is also related to my holidays generally being active and outdoors, not next to any convenient supplies. [/QUOTE]
