1. Petitioning Airport Authorities for a Standard Policy for Insulin Pumps at Airport Security

    There is no standard policy or procedure for insulin pumps at airport security and this not only causes stress for the person with diabetes but can also quickly become a life-threatening emergency.

    I want all airport authorities to recognise the risks of insulin pumps and x-rays and to train their staff accordingly.

    Here is my recent personal experience in an open letter to Dubai International Airport: ufofreight.com/.../...ional-airport_1465414485.pdf

    It is great to see Dubai Airport taking necessary steps to improve their procedures as a direct result from our campaign: http://tradearabia.com/news/TTN_308346.html

    Here is my petition: www.change.org/.../airport-authorities-standard-policy-for-insulin-pumps-at-airport-security

    We have the support of JDRF and many other high profile organisations: jdrf.org.uk/.../...airport-two-hours-insulin-pump.

    I hope you can sign and share the petition to help spread awareness.
