Hi Zoe, Nothing special. Don't forget the pils or the equipment for Insulin. And some glucose tablets if your dad can fall in hypo sitaution. You can get special diet lunch/ dinner from the flight agency. They are prepared about. Have a nice trip.

Dear Zoe, From my experience it would also be useful to ask for an aisle seat - diabetics tend to visit the oo rather frequently. Also taking one or two bottles of water can help. bon voyage, miaw
