I fly a lot for work...I always carry a note from my doctor on their letterhead, but I've never had to use that. I simply say to the first screener that I have insulin in my bag. I've never had to go through any additional screening and have never had even a slight problem. In fact, there have been a few times when I didn't mention the insulin, and was still never questioned. Made me wonder if they really are paying a lot of attention, or do they immediately recognize the insulin pens and vials.
