Traveling with insulin

[dagerstner]

Can someone advise on the policy for traveling with insulin along with insulin supplies?

Diabetes related supplies are 100% allowed by the TSA and Southwest. 

The TSA has some tips you may want to check out here: http://blog.tsa.gov/2014/04/tsa-travel-tips-travelers-with-diabetes.html

And a more thorough outline from the American Diabetes Association: http://www.diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/know-your-rights/discrimination/public-accommodations/a...

I have never had any issues with my insulin pens and needles.  Keep the needles in my purse but put the pens in a clear bag.  I just put the bag in the bin and let it go through, there are times when security said there was no need.
