In Reply to: Needle disposal at airports? posted by JennBish on Monday, 22. August 2005 at 12:22 Bali Time:
Hi, I'm a Diabetic and I've had to have my injection many times at the Airport for Breakfast & Dinner. I just keep the used needles in my Insulin Pouch until I return to Australia and then I dispose of them. I don't take the chance lof throwing them in a bin at either airport or in Bali.... Also I have a Letter written in Indonesian by the Indonesian Consulate in Perth advising of my Diabetes and need for Insulin and Needles... (Insulin Pen nowdays. I also have a letter from my local GP advising the same. I have only only been questioned in regards to the Needles and that was by the Australian Customs last October who just wrote down the details for their records. My advise is get a Letter from your Doctor and keep it with your Passport. Have a great holiday...
