[Diabetes-talk] Flying from North Carolina to Colorado; have some questions

[Albert Sanchez]

Mike and All,
Thanks much to all of you who posted responses to my email regarding my 
upcoming trip to Colorado and how to travel by air with my diabetic 
supplies. I'll let ya know how my trip goes sometime after I get back in 
April.
Again, Thanks!
Albert Sanchez
