[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1802974"] There are a few concerns for me with this approach - the luggage scanner belt goes through an x-ray at the point is the pump cannot be x-rayed. - as this is something that keeps me alive, I want to see it at all times and not risk someone picking it up or moving it - even if you put in down somewhere, you have to explain to the security guy what it is and why you have removed it and don't want it x-rayed. Most of us have (or should have) letter which explain what to do with the pump in an airport. I guess this is like the medical ID card you mention but, especially in the UK, an insulin pump is not a common device: about 10% of the nearly 4M people with diabetes in the UK have type 1 and of those about 10% have pumps and of those most people only take a couple of flights a year.
