Flying with diabetic medication

my first post here and my first time flying since 1990. I been reading everything i can get my hands on about this medication issue.
My husband is insulin dependent and uses insulin, syringes, meters and test strips. His insulin needs to be kept cool. We do not use a prescription because it is over the counter insulin. We just go to walmart and get his insulin from the pharmasist here in Georgia.

My question is should we go to his doctor and get a letter telling the airport people he needs his insulin? All the bottles are clearly marked with original name or insulin. I believe it is called Novolin 70/30.
He also uses and inhaler that we do have a prescription for. Do i bring the inhaler and the extra prescripton to prove this?

If this post is in the wrong section, please forgive me... i was just so glad to find this place where people actually talk about flying.. thanks
