Diabetic supplies allowed on airplanes?

Okay, I'm diabetic, flying for my first time tomorrow and need some advice on how to pack my my syringes, short needles for insulin pens. I guess they would be allowed in checked bag, but I'm afraid to get my luggage is lost. How diabetics? You must be able to handle all your medications and related equipment to put in hand luggage. It is a good idea to take the medication in the original container with prescription labels to keep it only if there are any questions. You may have to bring needles on board is not scheduled. Check bag of syringes, so you have no problem. Enjoy your flight and a safe trip. Ignore Rube that can not be taken on board said needles. He is completely wrong! Diabetics (and everyone else, you need to self-inject) to their stocks to get on board in their hand luggage. You need a certificate from your doctor as proof of need and should have his or her full name, address and phone number, you should never place critical medical equipment in checked baggage. If your checked bags lost or delayed, can be a life-threatening situation. Ross is wrong. There is a limited supply. I do not think there is a limit to the amount of insulin, but if you go on a long vacation lasts a few days of needles on board and leave the rest checked baggage. I think the FAA or TSA areas that can provide information about this .
