[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2267346, member: 482479"] You can't wear your pump through a body scanner (medtronic, not sure about others), nor can it be x-rayed with your hand luggage, so you can get letter from your DSN or one from medtronic, I've never needed to show it, I say I have a pump, it can't go through the body scanner and sometimes you get your hands swabbed, sometimes you get your pump swabbed, maybe a pat-down or a go over with the wand. I've only had a problem once and that was in the USA. Cannulas can be worn in water, so you can swim, you can have a bath....I think most pumps are waterproof but you can have a bolus and then disconnect while you go in the water if that's what you prefer. If its hot you may not need a bolus and obviously it depends how long you'll be disconnected for. Personally I've never put a cannula in my arm or buttocks so can't advise on that. [/QUOTE]
