I'm going to spain for a few days and it's my first time flying with the pump. My dsn isn't a great help. Once I managed to get a phone call with her I was only advised to take it off at security and not not put it through the scanner. She also said I wouldn't need a letter as they are well used to pumps now but I'm going to ask my gp for one anyway.
I remember at pump training we were told to disconnect at take off and landing but my dsn said this isn't necessary.
I'm very anxious as it is and tbh I don't feel fully satisfied with her information.
I'm going to approach security and explain the pump cant go through the machines. I will have my letter from gp.
I will suspend and disconnect at take off and landing.
I will take extra set changes, my back up insulin pens and info re insurance etc. I have a frio pouch and their is a fridge at the room.
Is there anything else I need to know?
