[QUOTE="AmandaD, post: 1227858, member: 199116"] I've been abroad loads with my pump. When walking through the scanner I always have it clipped to the front on show if you like and if I beep (always happens) I say its my insulin pump and they're grand with that. I was told by my hospital that if I have to go through the body scanner to disconnect my pump and not allow it be scanned has never happened though. On hols I never swim with my pump even though I have the waterproof one too I'm just too nervous to risk it. I detach and reattach when I'm back out of the pool. I go through twice as many Mio sets on holidays than at home cos the constant in and out of water and sand means they don't last. I also only half fill the reservoir cos I'm changing it almost daily and don't want to waste loads of insulin. I always hide it under a towel or such when sunbathing. U will have weird little pale patches all over from the cannula where it doesn't tan when its on lol Have a great holiday !! [/QUOTE]
