Hi,
I’m travelling overseas for the first time with type 1 diabetes, and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what to expect and things I need to make sure I do before I leave? I’m going to Malaysia, flying with Air Malaysia.
I know how much I need to take with me to cover travel in regards to insulin, needles etc, but I’m not sure what my Drs letter needs to say, do I need to go through ‘something to declare’? Is it safe for all of my diabetes supplies to go through the scanners?
Malaysia is a strict country with things like medication so I just want to make sure I cover all the bases! I would hate arriving at the airport only to be turned away!
If you have any other useful advice for travelling with type 1 diabetes I’d really appreciate it too!
Thank you
