Declaring at an airport with Diabetes

Declaring at an airport with Diabetes - White and Black Lego Blocks

I do not have diabetes, but my partner does.

We are looking to go on holiday in the next few months but one thing I have been unsure of is whether we should be declaring her medicine or to go through nothing to declare as normal?

Can this depend on the country or do all follow the same rules for diabetic medication?



Best Answer

While I‘m not diabetic, there are a lot of self-help pages by interest groups - the ADA has US-centric air travel information for example.

In general, you should be allowed to take all necessary supplies (including syringes and larger amount of liquids) on the flight, though you need to submit them for inspection at security.

However, your question seems to be about at the customs channel when you arrive. If and what you have to declare depends on the destination country, because each had their own rules. You could check your government‘s travel advisories, a travel guide or even with the embassy of your destination country.

Or you just declare the supplies at customs just in case.
