I'm hoping someone can tell me they have been in this situation and it was not a problem.
I currently wear the freestyle libre 2 (by choice, it certainly helps with controlling my type 2).
I read on the civil aviation authority website that this cannot go through the full body scanner at the airport and that I should carry a doctor's letter to state I should be offered an alternative security check.
Alternatively I could take my Glucometer, lancets etc. which I should also have a letter for.
Here is my dilemma: 13 days until I fly to Paris from the UK.

Dear Mrs Blagg,
To request a Doctor's letter, you will need to write down exactly what you would like the Doctor to state along with Name and Date of Birth, please bring this to the Practice.
The fee for a letter is £25 with a wait time of 28 working days. If you would like an urgent letter it is £50, with a wait time of 5 working days.
Has anyone gone through security with CGM and not needed Dr Letter?
I am thinking of risking it and taking my prescription list with the Glucometer strips and lancets on it. But would much prefer CGM.
Thanks in advance.
