I only have the Medtronic manufacturer’s information for pumps at airport security and other such places, regarding metal detectors, X Ray machines and body scanners. I would advise you as others have before to contact your pump manufacturer for info sheet for such occasions and also your...

Indeed we are saying the same thing. Or did you mean to reply to someone else? My pump Medtronic 640g does not set off metal detectors and neither did my other medtronic pumps. Metal detectors are not the problem. The problem is the body scanner (the thing that looks like it’s from Star Trek...

Hi l, do you have a medtronic device? If you do tell me how to post a photograph on this forum and I will send you the medtronic certificate they sent me via email. Or you can phone their customer services in the UK and they will send it to you. Mine is written both in English and Italian and...

The app for the iPhone Is called Libre link. It gives hba1c approximations and average blood glucose levels, graphs etc. I wish you luck! I managed a drop of two units in 3 months. I was very happy indeed.

If you have an iPhone and it’s probably the same if you have an android phone, you can download an app and use your phone as a sensor reading device and it can share with your consultant too. I know mine says she spies on me[emoji6]

So happy for you!!!

This is exactly the point... we do get anxious when our pump manufacturers state not to put the pump through the X Ray or body scanners ... as you rightly said no-one has a problem with swabbing the pump. It’s very stressful knowing that security could yank it off your body (Bristol airport)...

Medtronic(my pump manufacturer) says that under no circumstances should it be put under the X ray scanner or through the total body scanner. If it breaks/malfunctions( which it has after being forced to do the body scanner) this is at your cost- and for me they cost a lot!!! If you have...

I so hope that this is the case. I’ll be flying from there in a couple of months and they have always been a total nightmare! Thank you so much for getting your consultant involved. If it’s the same one I had at Newcastle General Hospital years ago when I lived in the city he is brilliant...

I did not mean to offend you at all and I am extremely and sincerely sorry that I did. I obviously misinterpreted what you wrote. I never implied that you were ignorant at all. I talked about the people at security. You said you didn’t work there if I remember correctly, you said you were...

I think that every person has had various different experiences ... addressing firstly your friend with the pacemaker ... most people with or without training will have some knowledge what a pacemaker is and does. Pregnancy everyone knows here should be no X-rays etc. However, insulin pumps...

Hi guys, I was told that libre couldn’t be in the water for more than 30 minutes .. in fact I have given up swimming because of this. Has anyone any experience of staying in the pool longer with the Libre?

I’ve sent this to my 37 year old cousin, who was put on Statins and has no family history of heart disease and was not even told wha his cholesterol level is blood pressure was ... Thank you and others who have posted info on this forum on statins as I send all the links to him and he has made...

Sorry I just read your post was from a year ago so you’ll already have learnt the ropes by now. I hope it’s going well☘️ Gemma

Hi, I’m so sorry that your son has both these horrible auto-immune conditions. I really feel for him and for you too. I am both type 1 (diagnosed at 18) and Coeliac (found out by chance much, much later)... my son was diagnosed as Coeliac aged six, so I can see your situation from both a...

Hi everyone, I would like to thank you all for being so kind as to reply to my question. It is lovely to know that there are people in this world happy to help another in trouble. I am quite new to the forum and it was my very first question, no doubt I shall be asking many more. I have...

Hi Brunneria, Thanks for everything, I’ve just downloaded the K2 book by the professor from the first video on my kindle, that shall be my bedtime reading tonight ... I am unable to access the two links you sent me [emoji24] Is there another way to access them? Yes I have read the same the...

Thankyou so much for replying Yes it was that ... I’m hopeless at a late hour and I didn’t check to see if I’d written it correctly. Is here a way to correct it? It’s my first time asking a question so not sure how to change mistakes. However, I thankyou for your informative reply .. to be...

Hi there! Thanks for replying! Well that’s definitely food for thought! ... perhaps I could get some worming tablets myself [emoji6] if it worked, I’d be forever in your debt[emoji4]and you could sell your cure for millions !!! Lol!!

Hi, Thankyou very much for the link, it’s very kind of you to have posted it. I’ve read it and will hopefully be able to use that info to talk to my diabetic consultant after my test. It’s all a it scary but if I know what I’m up against I can generally deal with it .. it’s the unknown that...
