Flying with Diabetes-Related Supplies

I'm a Type-2 insulin dependent diabetic and will be flying for the first time since I got my diagnosis and was put on medications. What do I need to know to get through the TSA with a minimum of hassles? I will be bringing 4 insulin pens, 50 pen needles and a two week supply of 4 different pills. I also will need my glucose tester, lancets, test strips. All of which has to be in my carry-on. Am I okay with my pills in a pill dispenser or am I going to have to bring all of the prescription bottles with me? This will be my first flight since 2009, so what other changes can I expect getting through? If it matters I am flying from MKE to MCO and back.
