How do you bring diabetes supplies on a plane?
How do you bring diabetes supplies on a plane? Packing: Put your diabetes supplies in a carry-on bag (insulin could get too cold in your checked luggage). Think about bringing a smaller bag to have at your seat for insulin, glucose tablets, and snacks. Pack twice as much medicine as you think you'll need.
