[QUOTE="sjm1308, post: 2206170, member: 408077"] Just to update everyone since my original query...I didnt end up taking the letter from my gp as she was charging me £30 which I just couldn't get my head around. Eventually got one from my dsn but it arrived after my holiday! At the airport I didn't take the lanyard just a personal decision. I thought at security I would wait till I was asked. I wasnt. I stepped through the metal detector and was waved on through. Same on return so thankfully I didn't have any struggle there. On the flight there i put my pump on airplane mode. About 30mins after take off I went hypo and ended up having to suspend my pump for over an hour. So on landing I disconnected. I disconnected for take off and landing on way home too. No hypo. Dont know if it was the stress though as I had myself needlessly worked up over security. Next time I wont be so anxious but I'm glad I now have a letter explaining all incase I need it. [/QUOTE]
