Hi Folks,
I just posted a document to the files section. It's titled "New Rules
Affect Airline Passengers with Diabetes." I posted it because there have been
questions regarding the traveling with testosterone vials and needles. I can't see
where the regulations would be any different, as a matter of fact, they just might
be stricter, since IM needles are much bigger than insulin needles.
There is also a red text line that talks about prescriptions and letters
of medical necessity. They will not be accepted.
Rather than be denied boarding, if you carry these items, check with the
airline before leaving. And with the increased scanning, don't be too sure that they
won't be confiscated from checked baggage. If they're concerned enough to prepare
these rules, they're concerned enough to scan and confiscate.
Better to be safe than sorry.
And a buddy on another list replied with a TERRIFIC suggestion!!
If you are gonna be away on a trip when you are due for a shot, why not
have your doctor write a script so that you can take Androgel with you. Switching
administration routes for one or two cycles isn't gonna hurt. Great idea !!
