Hello, my daughter will travel to the United States to study a year.It has type 1 diabetes, it is with fast and slow insulin.It has a sensor.Does anyone know how to ask for enough insulin for the time that will be there?Do we have to look for an American consulate permit to enter your country with large insulin amounts?Please, you have had the experience, share with us!Thank you very much anticipated!

@Liudmila, I travel several times a year and position insulin for 3 months.In addition to the novorapid charge with many lantus in case the bomb is broken and I have to move on to conventional therapy.I travel through Miami and I have never had any problem.No consulate permission.
And in your health center, (this does not consist of me) presenting plane tickets, maybe I recipe you to get all the insulin.Success for your daughter.Greetings.

@Liudmila, remember, insulin, reactive strips and sensors in cabin suitcase, never in the winery.

Hello:
I would like to ask you, what do you do with the Lantus you don't use?
Or do you spend the a posteriori?

Greetings

In hospitals they also pull the pen, I explain:
They do use a ball with a patient and they have discharged it, the pen is thrown away, because it would be antihigienic to use it in another person still changing the needle.
All this seems to me a waste of materials and resources.
Hospitals should use glass bottles and needles as used before.
In our hand is making good use of resources, we may not have these advantages one day.
