Hello there. I'm a Type 1 Diabetic with an insulin pump. In a few days, my husband and I will be going on vacation and it will be the first time either of us is on a plane.
I've looked at TSA's website as well as our airlines to see various policies concerning my supplies and medication, but I was just wondering if anyone here who has experience would be kind enough to lend me any advice they might have. We intend to arrive extra early to the airport and ask security to visually check my pump, etc.
Thanks for any and all advice/help. We greatly appreciate it.

My father has Type 1 as well, but he just left the insulin in the bag, like any other items. It went through security very easily. It probably depends on which airport you go through. For example, security at Los Angeles maybe higher than one in a rural area.

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.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/mO93k
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

You also need to bring a letter from the doctor saying this is a prescription. I don't know if this is TSA policy, but better safe than sorry.

I would definitely get a not from you doctor to accompany your medication, etc... as well as make sure that you they name on your prescription matches that exact name on your boarding pass. My mother is diabetic and she hasn't had any issues with traveling with her medication, etc..
Hope this helps and have a great trip.
