I assume the vials are in less than 3oz containers. If they are not, you will likely need a doctors note to explain why you are taking in liquids larger than 3oz. Yes, they are permitted by TSA regs but we all know that the line workers are often oblivious and useless. Just stick the liquids into your baggie and you'll be fine. The strips, syringes, meter, etc. are all no problem.

Just be 100% sure to NOT CHECK your medication! And if you must gate check your carry-on luggage, be sure to take the medication out and onto the plane with you. You'd be amazed how people don't think of this and then are up the creek if their bags are lost.
