How do I take insulin syringes into an amusement park?

How do you get past the metal detectors with diabetic supplies such as syringes and lancets? Just curious as I’ve only been diabetic…er, known about it anyhow, since the end of last summer and haven’t been to an amusement park since.

Can a Person With Type 2 Diabetes Enter Into The Military?

I have been wondering this for a very long while, since I have type 2 diabetes. Almost all my friends are joining the military, and I think I may want to too, just because of the benefits, and to pay for college.
All the questions on here are about type 1 (insulin dependent) and I haven’t found any answers for type 2 (diet controlled).

No, I am not on Insulin, my diabetes is controlled with diet, and I live as if I do not have diabetes.

How Does Long Lasting Insulin Work, How Does The Insulin Get Into The System Once Injected?

I like to know how things work but don’t seem to be able to find the answer to this one. I started on Levemir injections recently and everything I read is about the insulin, why I need it and where and how to inject.
If I take tablets I understand how they get into the system but where does the long lasting insulin go from the injection site. Is it circulating in the blood, stored in the liver or elsewhere.
Can anyone tell me or know of a good website with more information.
