Can Diabetics Fly?

Yes, diabetics can fly. It is important for diabetics to plan ahead and take necessary precautions. Inform the airline of your condition and any medical supplies you need to carry.

Stay hydrated, monitor blood glucose levels regularly, and have a plan for managing meals and insulin during the flight.

Do Diabetics Need a Letter to Fly?

While a letter from a healthcare provider is not always required, it is highly recommended for diabetics flying. The letter should state your medical condition, the necessity of your medications and supplies, and any special needs you may have during the flight. This documentation can help prevent issues at security checkpoints and ensure you receive appropriate accommodations from the airline.
