I am diabetic & travel with syringes as well as pin tip needles. We are travelling on Air France next week to Italy and I read on their web site last night that hypodermic needles are only allowed on board if accompanied by a prescription. Does this mean I can just cut the pharmacy label (containing my name, doctor's name, etc.) off the boxes that the needles come in & take that along? Or, do I need to get a print-out from my pharmacy...or an actual prescription from my doctor? I have flown with my needles many times in the past and was never asked for anything but I just want to make sure I'm prepared. I don't want to risk being asked for documentation & not having it. For you diabetics out there, how have you handled this in the past? Thank you in advance for your replies.
