Diabetic supplies on long distance airflights?

was wondering what the procedure was at securityfor insulin viles and needles. Have to bring a months supply, and it has to be carry on...can't afford to have it packed in cargo, and possibly get lost.

As far as I know, you need to keep the insulin vials in their original boxes WITH THE RX STICKER ATTACHED. You also should have the original box(ex) from your syringes with the sticker also on it.

That should be it. A letter from your doc is a good safeguard, but not 100% necessary. If you are traveling overseas or to someplace where English is not the main language, then try to provide translations of everything you have as well.

The TSA has a website that you can check. Also call your airline and speak with them about the issue. You can't be denied lifeaving medication. I was able to carry 2 Epi-Pens (injectable epinephrene on a flight as long as they were in the original container from the pharmacy and I had a doctor's note.

Best way to be sure is to contact the airline you are using. They may be able to make special exceptions for the insulin..;

the first thing is you need a doctors pescribed explanation
in writing along with your prescription. you then need a
medical alert bracelet and or i'd' tags.you will need to show cause why it is imperitive that the needles and insulin be with you on board.the airlines have refrigerators to store insulin and they may have you check your needles with a flight attendant.

The TSA allows you to take your insulin and needles on the plane with you.
To make it easier I would put all your meds in a clear container with your scripts in your carry-on and you need to declare it when you get to the security check points.
