I fly at least once a year and have explained that I have an insulin pump and I have worn my pump through the x-ray machine. No problem at all. I even had a TSA agent ask me about my pump because I think she had a child with T1D and thanked me for the information.
I travel 70% of the year. My Dexcom unit has been through the scanner on and off and nothing happened. But I think it is safe to do a "Shutdown", put it through the scanner, then power it back on the other side. Everything should continue as normal. I don't know for sure, but you can't damage an electronic unit of there is no circuitry traveling through the unit. Its just a piece of plastic and a circuit board with no electrical current running through it. Safe travels!
Hi Danika I want to say that I love that you can not only manage your diabetes but do it with a smile and that motivates me so much. As far as bringing juice in your carry on though I do every time I travel and as long as its not open and you mention that it is medicinal for diabetes they let you carry it.
I am so glad that you made this video! I looked at it about half a year ago and TOTALLY forgot I am going to take my FIRST plane flight at the end of SEPTEMBER! This helped me not be so worried about my diabetic supplies.
Another reason not to put insulin or meters in the hold is it's often neither heated or presurised so both can be damaged and potentially not obviously so you pump in defective insulin with no effect.
I've always got letters to travel from the National Health Service which I present let them read and that's usually the end of it. If you can get a letter from your doctor with your name on it certainly doesn't hurt.
Enjoy England, hope our weather picks up a bit before you get here!
Awesome as usual! Continue that good work. I am very new to diabetes and I love to hear your tips and tricks, the insulin pump comparison and stuff like that. Thanks!
I am a diabetic and i planned for travelling so i really learned new stuffs during your video , thanks.. good health..
Good Video - im a nurse and a T1D side note. IF your on a medtronic minimed pump like me... you should just have a pat down unless you want to disconnect your transmitter because that also can't go through x ray or full body scanner. Its super easy TSA will tell you you can but just say ok thanks, but id rather do this..
How u been doing it been a wild i going to see if i can get a insulin pump
All great advice. I just wanted to comment on the juice thing. I usually have several bottles of water and juice with me when I go through security and I NEVER have a problem. Bring juice. Bring water. It's fine.
When I went to Hawaii this year with my family ( my first time traveling with my Insulin Pump) I had more issue getting out of the airport from my city than I did getting thru other cities.
I love your videos so much! I'm from NJ and I live in Florida
thanks so much diabetic danica :) i was just about to ask you to do a video for this because im going to florida next week on a flight :)
I live in England! But the airport security is fairly lax, and I've never even been asked about it, even back when I used proper needles with a bottle of insulin, they never cared.
Thanks for the video. I am so getting my daughter one of your t's!
and i always just say before i even tell them i have diabetes "Id like to opt out, i have diabetes and a pump" Also I heard FRIO insulin cooling bags are great for un opened bottles.. ive yet to try. Also you can bring juice doesn't matter the amount TSA lets diabetics do this they just want to test one bottle or if its a juice box open one when they ask so they can test the fumes.. says so right on TSA website :) ---- happy traveling
I think you would appreciate it 'cause you activate it with a water soak...
oh no, I usually just keep my pump on and walk through the metal detector, but I usually hold it in my hand and say it's an insulin pump. nothing has happened thus far and I've traveled a lot. but in NYC I got that pat down because she felt my site, lol!!
fun fact, i travel all the time and as a diabetic TSA has to let you through with juice because it is medically necessary
I am diabetic myslef. It is hard for me to travel because of my meter abd my meds. You should vring a small plastic container to put needles and test tests and etc.
We have the same medical id bracelet!!!! LOL
I also carry a letter from my Endo when traveling saying I am under his care for diabetes and allowed to carry diabetic supplies.
Aside from the whole 'lost luggage' issue, insulin should never go into the luggage hold anyways due to the lack of temperature control there. Frozen insulin is just as useless as overheated insulin...
Hey ur videos are really helpful and im getting the pump ( animas ping in pink!) In two weeks! Dont stop ur videos ur really helpfull!!
I would love to hear about your Apidra experience. I was started out on Apidra, and it didn't work well for me, so I've since been on Novolog and haven't had any problems!
Yay new vid :D
Thanks for the tip...I have been doing a pat down since I got the pump last year. I will try your tip when I fly to Texas later this month. What are your thought on glucose tabs as a hypo remedy on the plane?
I was wondering if you could do a video on what kinds of snacks/foods to bring (or if u can bring) i'm going to Vegas in November and its a 5 hour flight and i think i'm suppose to eat every 2 or 2 and a half hours. thanks! :)
With your Dexcom transmitter on, can you go through both the old-school metal detector and the new "hold your hands in the air that you just don't care" scanners?
im going to Europe for the summer with my class and i will be there alone with out my parents or anybody. my friends know how to take care of me and all. but i have never been on a plane or boat before and im really nervous im only 14 and this would be my first BIG trip other then 6 flags. so any tips should a parent come with me or no and would i have to bring my emergency pin and tell the adult how to use it QUESTION?????? thank you you are such a help to me :D
can you make a video on how you pack it like is there a special way with gallon size bags your does it have its own case??????? QUESTIONS!!!!! thank you
I've gone through TSA like more than 20 times and I always have my pump on me... are you really not supposed to do that? I haven't encountered any trouble with it after the fact.
wait if I leave my pump on throught the scanner it will break???
Hello I’ve been having pure anxiety since I found out we will be going on a trip. I want to bring extra insulin just Incase but just don’t know how to store it being that it needs to be refrigerated. Please any advises.my daughter is 4 years oldand was diagnosed at 3 years old. This will be the first time we will be traveling since being diagnosed
I'm from England! Omg! Where abouts are you visiting? :)
Danica do security police have to pat you every time you travel?!
Hey Danica!! It's McKenna! Remember me?! You know how earlier I asked you a lot of questions about the pump. I have it now! Yay! I'm going to get the CGM I'm soo scared can you give me some tips and also go look at my latest video! Thanks ;) my diabetes story or it's some other one lol
Why are you going to London?!
I put my diabetic bag up in the overhead bin once it took a while to find it the stupid flight attended on united airlines moved the bag on me
you have such lovely eyes! ^.^
How do you keep the insulin pens cold while traveling?
Look for a frio cooling products bag. Have traveled from Arkansas to Spain with no problems with Novalog.
