[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1227144, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=45963]@lely[/USER], I've been abroad a few times with the pump. In the UK at airport security I have simply walked through the metal detector and said to the person "I have an insulin pump". If they ask me to go in the body scanner I've refused and said why. Coming back the other way, I've had enough of the local lingo to say "I have an insulin pump, I am type 1 diabetic" to the staff and that has worked out fine. Most of the non-UK operators have been better than the UK ones. Otherwise, just use it as you would in the UK, and remember to adjust your clock! [/QUOTE]
