Hello good!
At the beginning of September I go on a trip and I have to take a plane (for the first time) and logically I have to take my insulin.
I have read that I only have to ask my doctor for a role in which I put everything I need to take me so that there is no problem.
But I have some doubts.Is it necessary to carry the insulin bolis in its original box without opening it or can I carry them loose?Do I have to take them in the closed box?Do they put any kind of inconvenience for carrying frigators and a small fridge to keep insulin cold?
Please tell me your experiences, since it is the first time I travel and I am a little nervous.
Thank you!

@Lauura26, carries all the insulin in hand luggage, do not think of putting it in the suitcases that are billed.I use the cold portfolios for those trips that refrigerate the insulin well.No need to go in the boxes.Just in case ask the doctor to make a report.Do not worry that they will not put any paste at any airport, they have never put it to several countries in Europe.As a curiosity I have to tell you that at the Berlin airport when I was going to take the flight back to Spain I forgot to take out the bottle of water from my backpack and they made me go to throw the bottle to a nearby container and the insulin did notThey said absolutely nothing

Well, you had to have seen what happened after throwing the bottle to the container.The container was 4 meters and in view of the security guard.As soon as I returned next to him, he fell back to me with a detector (and that I had blamed me before), of insulin, needles and other no problem

Yes, and because we are honest, but you have never thought that a madman could lite it on a train, plane, ... with this?They make us believe that for not putting creams and others we are sure and we put "possible weapons" and apparatus and do not detect them ...
