Nope, never. I don't even mention diabetes when travelling now.

Nope. Done at least 3 flights with one on, and spares in hand luggage. All fine

 

[Westley]

Never in many flights. There's no more metal in it than a pair of earrings, and those don't cause problems.

I always carry all my diabetes kit in my hand luggage. Hold.luggage can go missing. What is the point of spare if it is not with you?
And I never have a problem with putting it through the x-ray

 

[Lakeslover]

I always carry mine in hand luggage, I’ve never had a problem with them after going through the scanner.

I do the Canaries twice a year and never had an issue either end....
All supplies kept in my hand luggage....

Have a fantastic time...

Don't forget your finger prick meter.
As often mentioned, there are limitations with all CGMs which means you will need to double check sometimes.
