[QUOTE="AlexMagd, post: 1573795, member: 429623"] Hi guys, I'm taking a long distance flight in a couple of weeks (27 hours - joy!) and am curious about the effect this will have on my Libre. Less worried about airport security as there are a few threads where people have used it fine on those. I'm more interested if anyone's used their Freestyle Libre while on a high altitude flight? The manual says that it won't operate above 10,000 feet but I'm not sure if that means it'll just give weird readings, or whether the sensor will fail if I try to scan it. If I'm wearing it but not scanning it, will it be fine? If not I guess I'll just have some gaps in my readings for that day - though I was hoping I could still test as I'm not sure that airplane food is going to be good for my blood sugar... but I don't want to risk the sensor failing [/QUOTE]
