Patient's question:
My aunt has diabetes and carries insulin with her when she goes out. I want to ask if carrying insulin on a plane affects whether you can fly or not for diabetics?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can fly on airplanes. Generally, diabetic patients administer insulin in the morning, noon, or evening. Usually, insulin is administered before dinner. Therefore, we can check what time the flight is scheduled. If it's not during mealtime, we can place the insulin in the carry-on luggage as well. If insulin needs to be administered, it can be carried on the person.
