[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2448966, member: 372717"] Make sure all your diabetic stuff is in your hand luggage, and have extra. Although I've only once needed it in a few decades of international flights a letter from your doctor saying you are on T1 with insulin (and ideally any other meds you are on) can be useful, though most airlines are very used to diabetics. I usually just tell the security folk that I'm diabetic and have all my insulin stuff in my bag, and all is good. Not sure if you still need to put your insulin in a clear plastic bag? (It's been a while since I've flown.) Make sure your glucose tablets (or equivalent) are easily accessible (pockets). Trying to go through airport security with a hypo is no fun and you don't want to be hypo in a plane with the seatbelt sign on and your glucose in the overhead locker. Most important, have a great trip. Enjoy :) [/QUOTE]
