I take an injection once a week.
I wish to travel abroad for two weeks.
I do not wish to pack syringes/needles/etc. for one dose.
Anyone have suggestions on alternatives?
(Pre-loaded hypo-spray would be awesome).
Thank you.
Load a #29 1/2" 0.5ml insulin syringe, carry in something like this: Wright Prefilled Syringe Carrying Case - Pack of 2 | ADW Diabetes?
There are other cases that are similar, you can do some research.
Take a picture of the T prescription label. Pack a couple of alcohol prep pads. If you can carry the Rx label or box+label with you, all the better. Date on label should be within last 3/6 months.
I have traveled with syringes and needles. I put them in a shaker bottle along with my test in the box with the prescription, and then put the shaker bottle in my checked luggage.
I have also traveled with pre-loaded syringes in an envelope with a doctor’s note - also in checked luggage.
Not sure if this helps, thought I would share.
I’ve never done a Sub-Q (I think that’s what that insulin needle is used for?). Maybe I need to learn it.
I suppose an alternative is to skip a week?
Is there any delivery system available yet similar to a Hypo-spray or an Epi-Spray yet?
Thank you.
