Hello, my daughter will travel to the United States to study a year.It has type 1 diabetes, it is with fast and slow insulin.It has a sensor.Does anyone know how to ask for enough insulin for the time that will be there?Do we have to look for an American consulate permit to enter your country with large insulin amounts?Please, you have had the experience, share with us!Thank you very much anticipated!
@Liudmila, I travel several times a year and position insulin for 3 months.In addition to the novorapid charge with many lantus in case the bomb is broken and I have to move on to conventional therapy.I travel through Miami and I have never had any problem.No consulate permission. And in your health center, (this does not consist of me) presenting plane tickets, maybe I recipe you to get all the insulin.Success for your daughter.Greetings.
Thank you very much, Solaria!Do you know if you can wear free freestyle sensors in large quantities, will it have a problem at airport?Thanks from the heart!
@Liudmila, no problem. I travel with two cabin bags full of diabetes.Fast and slow insulins for 3 months.All the fungibles of the pump.SensorsNeedlesReactive strips glycemia and ketones.GlukometersI already tell you, two suitcases.In addition to countless rhinitis, use 5 types: Avamys, Ebastina, Salbutamol, Budesonide, Atarax. B12 pills, vitamin D, Ebastinas, lactase pills.Well, a complete pharmacy.And there are no problems.
Liudmila my sister lives in Mexico and comes every year or two years, it takes everything from Spain, without problem and my nephew studies in England and alone.It comes at Christmas, everything also takes it without problems.

Hello: I would like to ask you, what do you do with the Lantus you don't use? Or do you spend the a posteriori?
In hospitals they also pull the pen, I explain: They do use a ball with a patient and they have discharged it, the pen is thrown away, because it would be antihigienic to use it in another person still changing the needle. All this seems to me a waste of materials and resources. Hospitals should use glass bottles and needles as used before. In our hand is making good use of resources, we may not have these advantages one day.
