Never in many flights. There's no more metal in it than a pair of earrings, and those don't cause problems.

do i pack a spare in hand luggage or hold bags ?
I always carry all my diabetes kit in my hand luggage. Hold.luggage can go missing. What is the point of spare if it is not with you?
And I never have a problem with putting it through the x-ray

I always carry mine in hand luggage, I’ve never had a problem with them after going through the scanner.

Don't forget your finger prick meter.
As often mentioned, there are limitations with all CGMs which means you will need to double check sometimes.
