Diabetes and airport

Hello everyone,

Soon I will travel to London and I have heard that I need a role that accredits my diabetes but on the other hand I have heard that I need a card ... and I don't know what I really need ...

I think the biggest problem will be within the London Airport ...

Can you tell me if they have ever asked you for something?:?

Thank you very much

You have to bring a role from your doctor (in English) in which you indicate that you are diabetic and the material you need.
He can give you problems are the syringes, but with the proof nothing happens.

The paper is for the airport in case you are asked what all that you carry there is.And you also have to make the European health card, so that they attend you in case of anything, whether it is a cold or something related to diabetes.

It takes the medical certificate that includes the utensils you are going to need (with an English version you have enough).Do not put anything in the suitcase, carry everything in the hand luggage and take it out only if they ask for it.They have never asked me.

Hello,
This weekend I have flown from Germany to Spain and I forgot the certificate and I have not asked for anything (they have never asked me anything, my in the US).In Germany I always whistle my bomb but I take it off, in Spain not.But it is explained that you are diabetics and do not get problems.In fact I spent a bottle of water and they told me that I could not pass it and I told them that I was taking antibiotics and that I needed to drink a lotHe said that then he could pass everything he wanted (without justification or anything).They have relaxed a lot ...

I have traveled a Monton and a few countries ex: Japon, Thailand, Brazil, Italy, France, Finland, Egypt, Great Britain ... and the only time they have asked me for paper was in Madrid, the Civil Guard, generally not youThey say and they don't ask you for anything.I advise you to carry a proof that will make your endocrine, that it is in Spanish and English, this role justifies that you are diabetic, just in case.And on the subject of carrying a zumito and some cookies for a possible hypo, in this case if they tell you at the airport that you can not upload it to the plane, for this if the justifying paper serves (medications do not tell you anything usually, let's not even ask you) take something like a sugar over or glucagon.And the health card is in case you need attention in some center (if it is for a short trip, as you want).
PS: The liquids in the plane as a safety measure, they will remove it in 2013.
I hope I have helped you!

I travel a few years ago to Italy and with a proof of my internist was enough. When I have access to stadiums to see football I say that I am diabetic I teach insulin and so far I have not had problems.

They have never asked me for anything, at first I had a small report but for a few years here, nothing, but next month I go to the USA and there I will take everything tied and well tied because I do not want to have problems.
