Hi Monica,

I've traveled a few times, but only w/i the country, so I don't know about international travel.

When I get to the security checkpoint I tell them right away that I am diabetic and I have syringes and insulin etc with me. I carry my prescription print outs from the pharmacy, and although I've never been asked, a note from your doctor probably wouldn't hurt. I've been asked to turn my monitor on, and they rub this swab-thing around my insulin but it always comes up positive for drugs, but I've never been hassled about it.

Hope that helps,
HeatherP

p.s. I don't know what kind of monitor you have, but the older ones could be harmed by the xray machines - make sure you can send yours thru.
