[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1380534, member: 211504"] I understand the differences in the security equipment, and I'm also aware of Medtronic and Dexcom's recommendation to avoid body scanners and xray equipment. Dexcom also says to replace your sensor every 7 days, but how many people are doing that? It's a lot easier and cheaper for Medtronic and Dexcom to tell you to avoid certain things than for them to perform testing and confirm that it is. If you feel more comfortable avoiding the xray equipment, then by all means do so. At the end of last year, this question was raised probably 5 times a day in that facebook group I mentioned above, yet there wasn't a single instance where someone mentioned they had an equipment failure after....what did happen was a ton of people had to engage in extra questioning and screening because the person volunteered the information that they had a pump and/or cgm.
