Has anyone done much flying with a dexcom G7?
I want to visit my father in the UK but am not confident that I can get spare sensors through security without an xray. This appeared to fry my spare G6 transmitter so am wondering what the situation is with the G7, which has effectively has a transmitter in every sensor?
I'm still using the G6 but could change over to the G7.
Will be flying via Singapore this time so maybe they will be more sympathetic to T1 technology than Qatar airlines and Dohar? I also have some inter European flights...
The dexcom website just says I can wear it when walking through the body scanner, my issue is the hand baggage xray.
Has anyone got any tips for documentation to prevent the mandatory xray of spare sensors (A dexcom info letter worked fine for me in Australia and New Zealand).
