Hi,

I purchased my Dexcom sensor and now I'm abroad. I ran short (came out before the week was over) so i want to check if it's a problem for someone to bring it for me. I can't imagine it is, can someone confirm this for me? Thank you!

If you mean, is it okay for someone coming to see you to bring dexcom sensors in their luggage, then yes it is. My partner brings them over from the US for me when she visits as I can get them more cheaply if delivered to a US address.
 
Yes, that's exactly my question! Is this so, bringing out of the UK too? Thank you!
 
There are no restriction to travel with the dexcom goods, as long as they have not been given to one person on prescription (highly unlikely) or VAT free and they are being exported for someone else. You may need to consider the expiry date on them, as the last 2 lots I have purchased from Animas now, only had a shelf life of approx. 3 months, which is quite frustrating - I wouldn't order 24 months supply!
