Hi guys,

I have a major trip coming up and I’m packing times three in case the country that I’m visiting ended up on the red list or they shut their boarders.

Please can you tell me what I can put in my suitcase and what has to go in my hand luggage.

Insulin
Freestyle libre
Test strips
Iport advance

Thanks

Everything, and I mean everything, related to diabetes goes in your hand luggage.
You have no control over anything that goes in the hold, including whether it makes it to your destination.

And don’t forget hypo treatment for the trip.

I always take a letter from my doctor in case anyone complains. This has only happened a couple of times in hundreds of flights but better to have the letter and not need it than have your life saving medication confiscated.
 
If I needed to put some items in the hold then what could go there?
 
Hi @NaijaChick ,

My take on it when traveling. Is I carry my "life support" or quality of life in my hand luggage.

Enjoy your trip.
