Travelling with supplies

Should be fine in a ziplock bag, can't think of a reason why not tbh as your letter cover you for all the medical supplies your carrying.

@Coopsman1 Can I move this to Type 1 for you?

I've taken insulin cartridges out of their box but still in their foil (which has the name, etc on) when I've flown. There hasn't been a problem doing that.

I always take my doctors letter and my prescription too.

@azure by all means if you feel it is better suited there. I thought as it is a generic question it sat well in this forum.

It's up to you @Coopsman1

I'll leave it here unless you say otherwise

Nobody cares (in a good way)
-About 8 million people fly every single day
-Roughly 5% of the world is diabetic (it's closer to 8-10% when you only count developed nations)
-That means there's about 400,000-800,000 diabetics flying every single day
-Even if just 25% of them are insulin-dependent that means you have 100,000+ people going through security with their supplies every single day which equates to 36.5million people every year.

To answer your question: I keep all of my "Stuff" together but never bother with ziplock bags. I travel with a Tumi Split Travel Kit which holds up to a month's worth of supplies (if I ever needed it to).

My general rule of thumb is to pack at least twice as much as I think I'd need (so an 8 day trip would mean bringing 16 days of supplies).
