Diabetic rushed to hospital after airline seizes insulin - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation):
A diabetic man needed emergency care after airline security confiscated his needles and insulin on a flight from Norway to Australia.
Writing in the Medical Journal of Australia, intensive care physician George Skowronski says the 55-year-old developed a life-threatening condition because of the build-up of acids caused by a lack of insulin.
The condition can lead to a coma but the man finally received emergency treatment after being met by an ambulance and taken to Sydney's St George Hospital.
Professor Skowronski says diabetic travellers need to have a doctor's letter and prescriptions and proper packaging if they want to take medical supplies on board flights.
