Question

with me?? I heard they weren't allowing anyone to bring liquids on board with you... What about my insulin? and will they allow me to bring my lancets and syringes?? I need info!!!

Answer 1

I was just asking myself a similar question for a flight I am taking this week. TSA.com is loaded with the true official info.

The trick is to have all gels/liquids in 3oz containers or smaller. Most travel size toiletries are already that small. But then you need to keep all the containers in a 2 qt ziploc bag

HOWEVER, they do make accomodations for medication, You just have to let security know (declare):
To ensure the health and welfare of certain air travelers there are no limits on the amounts of the following liquids, gels and aerosols you may carry through a security checkpoint:

Baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling;
All prescription and over-the-counter medications (liquids, gels, and aerosols) including KY jelly, eye drops, and saline solution for medical purposes;
Liquids including water, juice, or liquid nutrition or gels for passengers with a disability or medical condition;
Life-support and life-sustaining liquids such as bone marrow, blood products, and transplant organs;
Items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; and,
Gels or frozen liquids needed to cool disability or medically related items used by persons with disabilities or medical conditions.
You are not limited in the amount or volume of these above items you may bring in your carry-on baggage. However, if these items are in containers larger than three ounces, please perform the following:

Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag.
Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint.
Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.
We have also taken steps to ensure the security of the boarding areas after you pass through our security checkpoints. Therefore, any liquid, gel or aerosol, such as coffee or soda, purchased in the secure area beyond the security checkpoint is allowed aboard your plane. Please note that if you have a layover and are re-screened at your connecting airport the current rules (see above) for carry-ons apply. For more details, get the 3-1-1 for carry-ons.

Answer 4

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

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

Answer 5

My mother had no problem with her insulin and syringes when she flew to Japan this past summer. She had to have a prescription for every one of her medications, including the lancets and needles, with her.

Answer 6

As far as your medicine the TSA requires you to have the medicine (lancets, syringes, and insulin) packaged in the original packaging with the prescription on the packaging, matching your name. I would suggest that you also visit the TSA website as they will have the information in more detail on their website http://www.tsa.gov/

Hope this helps and have a great flight!

Answer 7

consult AAA (automobile Association of America) they will have all the info you need. It may be wise to start early since you may need to get documentation or plan ahead for medication in your destination area.

Answer 8

Yes. You need to let the airline know what items you have andthey will check them and you will need to keep them on your person while on the plane and in the terminal.
