Hi all,
Apologies if this has previously been answered but couldn't find much information
I am 31 year old man who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in March earlier this year.
Due to this, as you will be aware, there is significant "extras" that I now have to carry at all times
I travel quite alot between UK and Europe and have been advised that I need to get a doctors note to carry pens/needles/sharps boxes etc each time I go through the airport. These are chargeable, which is fine but have to give 2 weeks notice at my Gp as only 1 person can do the letters
Have many people had issues with taking equipment through customs etc where a letter hasn't been had or is anyone aware of a more robust solution like a card or something similar that can purchase to make this process easier?
Thank you
Luke
