airline travel for diabetic?

Question

what are the rules for carrying insulin and needles?

Answer 1

You will need to carry a letter from your physician specifying medical necessity for the needles. As long as the prescription is on the bottle and it matches your name, then TSA wont have a problem. Its not so much the airlines policy as it is getting through security. Just make sure you always have a letter from your physician stating what kind of medication and how much. That way if you go into diabetic shock someone can help adminsiter the shot if necessary.

Answer 3

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 4

Any airline has to allow prescription medications onboard with passengers. If you have the prescription, you will be allowed to bring the needles and insulin. My wife is diabetic and we recently traveled (even after the no liquids rule) and she was allowed to bring her equipment on board. Just show the prescription with matching ID.

Answer 5

I would check with your specific airline as far as what they allow, but I believe as long as you have a prescription from your doctor and that is shown on the insulin as well as the box of needles you should be okay. Make sure that the prescription matches your name otherwise they will not allow you to take on the items.

Answer 6

Keep everything in its original packaging from the pharmacy, so security personnel know exactly what it is, and some people get letters from their doctor, stating they are diabetic. Put supplies in your carry on, not checked luggage- I've never had problems, even shortly after 9-11. And I've never bothered with the doctor's letter.

Answer 7

put insulin and syringes in clear plastic bag take out luggage at security, place them in a tray to be xrayed and inspected, per TSA all diabetic supplies and equipment are allowed on board
also tell a steward/ess you have diabetes as a hypoglycemic attack can be mistaken for other things such as drunkenness

Answer 8

you'll probably want to conceal them in an orifice...
