Hi, while my husband is feeling well we would like to go to canaries, 4hrs from england. Will he have to declare injections for flying?

Might try a diabetes forum?
They probably have the most experience with this.

There is always a workaround, so don't let this hold up your trip planning!

flying with needles
I have flown in and out of 4 countries with my syringes, needles and Fragmin in my carry on. Only once (in Venice) was my carry on searched and I had a letter from my onc explaining the need for my medicine with me. The security guy passed the letter to his supervisor who looked at it for about a second and waved me through, no problem. I have never declared them.
So my advice is, get a letter from your doctor explaining the medicine and you should have no problem.

Sound advice...
I don't like to check stuff that I need, so I always have something weird in my carryon. But I either carry it in the original bottle (with perscription on it) or have a letter from my doctor, stating what it is, and why I need it. I have had no trouble.
