Free Diabetic Supplies

Are you worried about flying with your diabetes supplies? Many Americans are, especially during the times when the nation’s security threat level rises.

The Transportation Security Administration has developed traveling tips to help ensure the safety and convenience of travelers with diabetes. This will help keep the traveling community as a whole safe. In addition it will speed up the security check-point screening and keep travelers on time.

The T.S.A. recommends to notify the screener that you have diabetes and are carrying supplies with you. Although not required, they recommend you have the prescription label to identify medication. This will expedite the screening process.  

The American Diabetes Association has helped in developing these tips. The association will provide ongoing assistance to the T.S.A. The association wants to be aware of any difficulties people may encounter with the T.S.A. At the end of your travels you may report a problem or suggestion to the association by calling 1-800-DIABETES.
