Re: Moving back to the UK: update Just an update on my progress. I was home in the UK in September, and went to my GP to explain I'd be back permanently next year and ask for a referral to the Newcastle clinic in advance of my move so that I can hopefully ensure continuity of funding/care. He...

Just to update on this one. No problems on the outward check at Schiphol, I just told them and they let me through without even looking. On the way back from Florence there was no one at the 'in' end of the scanner to tell, so I just put my bag through and walked through the arch. They called me...

Hello fellow pumpers, I've had my Cozmo for a couple of months now and we're doin' fine, but I'm off on holiday next week - flying from Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Florence - and I'm wondering if there's anything I'll need to know about getting through airport security with my pump. Will I be...

Hello, I've only just discovered this forum so this is my first post. Please excuse any silly mistakes. I've been living in the Netherlands for 17 years, been diabetic (LADA) for 9 years. Always had very high HBA1C - generally around 9 - and wildly unstable blood glucose, and was finally...
