At the airport security check-in:
- Notify the screener that your child has diabetes and you are carrying her supplies with you.
- Be prepared to show the doctor's letter and prescription labels.
- Advise the screener if your child wears a pump that it cannot be removed because it is connected to a catheter inserted under the skin.
- Insulin pumps and supplies must be accompanied by insulin with a label clearly identifying the medication. You may request a visual inspection rather than walking through the metal detector or being hand-wanded. However, this may subject your child to closer scrutiny or a "pat-down."
- Bring your patience and a smile.
