Travelling with Omnipod

[Cassandra13]

Hello everyone!

I am going to be travelling to Europe (I am in Canada) and I am concerned about the language barrier and trying to get through airport securities with my omnipod. In Canada, Omnipod is not very well known so explaining that it is an insulin pump etc. can be a bit of an ordeal. I will be travelling to Germany, Austria and Hungary... Does anyone have any experience/tips on travelling through security and explaining diabetic equipment or what sort of documentation I should bring with me to help avoid any issues?

Thanks!

Hi, most people tend to get a letter from their DSN explaining they are diabetic and carry medical supplies, I've got one but have never actually needed to produce it to airport security etc as they do seem to understand, I have a pump but not an omnipod so I'll tag someone that does and has recently travelled who may be able to give more info to you @himtoo
