[QUOTE="azure, post: 1227174, member: 39639"] Hi [USER=45963]@lely[/USER] :) I've been abroad a number of times with my pump. I always take spare pens and cartridges and extra sets and cannulas in case of site issues. I have a letter from my GP that I show at check in and security and I've never had any problems. I don't disconnect my pump and I ask for a pat down search rather than walk through the metal detector because the pump and site will generally set it off anyway so just cause a delay. Many airports swab the pump and my hands too, but not all do. Be prepared to alter your basal on the plane. For some reason my BS often goes high so I put a temp basal rate on. Enjoy your holiday :) [/QUOTE]
