Hi, this is my first post on here, sorry if the info I am asking about is glaringly obviously posted elsewhere.....
Our son was diagnosed type 1 in March. In Feb next year we are going on hols abroad, and I wonder about travel insurance. Is there a specific site I could look at which is better than any other - what does everyone else do regarding this??
Also, travelling with insulin - my Mum read somewhere that you must carry insulin in your hand luggage due to extremes of temperatures in the hold, but then if this takes you over your allowed liquid allowances is it a problem, and do you obtain a letter from your consultant confirming your child is diabetic??
