Travelling with Insulin pens

[eric2011]

I have just been put onto Insulin pens and have QF flights (dom) next week. I have put together a "kit" which holds my pens, needles, glucose monitor, lancets etc ready to take. ( everything together in 1 kit).
What should I do at the airport that's now different to before and should I also include the small sharps container.
Any other helpful hints that I should know.
TIA

Usually just let them know as you go through security, but honestly, they don't really care. I travelled with similar recently and no one asked about it at multiple airports.

you can mention you have needles when you place the bag on the security screening carousel. I doubt it will make any difference because I’ve carried needles and mentioned it and they did nothing. The bag went through without any issues and without further inspection.
