Diabetes and airport security. Here is all you need to know.

Also call the hotel or your friend or the people u see . And talk about it 2 arrange and all

Especially if u r type 1 .
Does it reck stuff if u r type 2

[@sassytbc7923]

Seems as tho the best thing is to talk to your doctor for the answers.

[@diabetesatuniversity]

Of course. But doctors will get this information from the manufacturers of sensors and pumps. This type of information can change quickly due to testing the manufacturers do. For these things going through X rays, the manufacturers do the testing. This video is based on manufacturer information.

If they forced u to scan theses and damages your equipment . Then who pays for replacement. ?

[@diabetesatuniversity]

Well, if they force you. I think they don't force people to scan it -- instead they can take a swipe sample and check it. You won't know whether it is broken until you use it and it will be impossible to prove that it was broken because of the x-rays.
