[QUOTE="Tswa, post: 1902749, member: 469179"] Hey! I travel a lot, type 1 with a pump (and backup needles novorapid etc). Last time I did long haul I didn't even bother with my Friobag, I shoved insulin into a Tupperware with a little icepack thing (not touching, don't want to freeze the insulin!) and had no problems. I even asked the air crew if I could put it in the fridge on the plane and they said yes and did it. :) Airport staff and aircrew are super used to diabetics, so don't panic about it. Its a good idea to have a letter with you from your doctor explaining the various bits and pieces you have on you, but I've travelled to Bali, Ireland, Dubai, London, Spain, Hungary, Scotland, and New Zealand with the letters and haven't used them once.
