Thanks @Elenka_HM I did manage to drive up to Carlisle yesterday and pick up a letter from the Diabetes team so I've got that safely with my passport but great to know that you've had no issues. We're off to Norway so very excited.@zippyjojo I have been in a few flights since diagnosis and I didn't have any issues either. Nobody paid attention to my insulin or needles and I didn't mention it (maybe on the first flight, as I was new and nervous!). I do have a letter from my DSN that I carry for reassurance but so far I never had to show anyone. So don't worry if you can't get one on time for this trip, although you can try for next one! I heard GPs usually charge you, I got it from the hospital team and was free. It can also be useful to take a copy of your prescriptions.
More importantly, enjoy your trip! xx
Thanks @Lucyr - hope you have a lovely trip xI flew for first time yesterday, I didn’t even mention needles as the sign said sharps over 6cm couldn’t go through and my needles are 4mm. I said nothing, put my bag in the tray, insulin in clear plastic bag in tray, and went through fine. I had to turn libre off on plane but I think that’s because it was a tiny plane
