I think with it been the first time you have travelled with these circumstances it would be better to asume there is nothing in the resort and take everything you may require with you. While there you can then see what is available for any future holidays.

Hi Steveo3
My son is also insulin dependant, even though he has never been asked for it, he always gets a letter from his G.P./ clinic to say he is carrying Sharps onto the plane, also keep insulin in hand luggage so it doesn`t get lost or broken, or if the case goes missing, Other than that he had no problems whatsoever. Enjoy Icmeler :D :D
