I've flown all over the place and never had any problems with the D supplies (my tweezers and toenail clippers, scissors and cigarette lighter were apparently MUCH more menacing)

Get a letter from your doc, keep EVERYTHING (especially insulin, which could be ruined by freezing under the plane) in your hand luggage. I never bother telling the security people about the D (i figure don't ask, don't tell) unless somebody is going to hand search my bag. Usually the bag checkers have seen enough insulin syringes and glucometers to know what they look like under x-ray so they don't even mention it.
