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 allowed to keep it on or will I have to take it off and put it through the scanner? If so is this a problem? I don't want it getting b*****ed up due to ignorance. Also, if I can keep it on through security, Schiphol have 'whole body' scanners that you have to stand in to be checked out. Will it be OK in one of those?
My nurse was a bit vague about it all. She's given me a very general letter on hospital paper about being a diabetic, but nothing specific about the pump. She just seemed to think it would be fine.
Anyone got any tips or info on the subject?
Thanks a lot.
