Travel by plane with diabetes

Hello good!

I have never traveled by plane being diabetic and I would like to know where I should save insulin, needles and glucose meter.

And if they put some kind of problem or we must justify in some way that we have to carry that.

Thanks and greetings :)

I have traveled by plane and what I do is that in the Siempro suitcase I have been sugar.Before storing it on the plane, I take them out (or put them in a bandit and that is what I take) and I have them with me throughout the trip.

I hope it is useful to you.
All the best.

@Xelbun here I leave Link to a topic that has enough information about traveling with diabetes, and links to other topics also very interesting to read.

Trip out of Spain
Hello, very good, my name is Lara and I have been with diabetes melitus for 10 years but never left out of Spain or mounted wn plane and I would like to know if some specific measures are needed for i...

@Xelbun

Look at the link that has put you Fer.

In general, when you travel everything you carry related to diabetes with you.As hand luggage.I carry it in a small backpack.And of course, all double for security.It carries insulin, bolis, needles, etc. as if to be twice what you are really going to be.If you travel accompanied, what I do is that my wife has everything repeated as hand luggage.But you carry it.

You will not have any problems in the controls.If you stay quieter you can take a medical certificate for travel.They have never asked me.No one invented that it has diabetes or carries insulin and needles for pleasure!

Have a good trip

I have asked me that and tbm if I had to travel outside Spain, to another country, how would it be?Does anyone know it? Greetings.

Just as some colleagues have already commented on this soil forum. I have twice the double insulin, needles, strips, etc. which I need in my hand luggage.I also always carry a medical report in English in which it is indicated that I need to inject insulin.
I have never had problems traveling by plane with insulin or controls either.The only requirement they ask us is that it goes in the liquid sachet, but there is usually enough space.With a single bag I have taken enough insulin for a month.

I am diabetic 25 years ago, I constantly travel by plane, I have never had problems to carry my insulin and medications with me.There are refrigerant cases in which you can comfortably carry your insulin and syringes, I also wear alcohol wipes that sell you in small envelopes.You can take pen insulin, which is usually more practical when it is travel.On some occasion I forgot to refrigerate my case and requested the ice hostess to keep the insulin cold.What is extremely important is that you take into account that when you travel it is almost impossible to feed you properly, so you should always bring some food that allows you to keep your glycemia at the right levels.Very important, control your stress, because this is a factor that usually alter your levels.Enjoy your trip.

@Xelbun, in airports there is no problem.For insulin, remember that if you go for less than a month you do not need to refrigerate the insulin, since it endures up to 28 days.
And you can carry your things in any bag.
Have a good trip.

You have to carry an endocrine report at least I have come out several times to Latin America and if they have asked me and the insulin glucometer etc in hand luggage
