• Put insulin in a clear plastic bag if you are flying to have handy for going through security

For injectors:

If flying make sure you have some diabetes supplies in your hand luggage in case your bags get lost. Have a safe trip and most of all – enjoy yourself! And don't forget to use the spike app for insulin reminders!
