Hello Everyone,
I will be flying on Saturday, and was wondering about going through airport security with my CGM. Has anyone had any issues? I would love to hear your experiences. I am flying from Newark, NJ to Palm Beach, FL (if that matters).
Thanks!
Rose, the TSA has recently updated rules for those of us with this issue. Hopefully, something is in there:

I don't wear the CGM anymore (that's another story), but when I go through with my pump, I just point at it and say "I'm wearing an insulin pump". Never had a problem, though they always want to check it closely. Good luck with your trip... I'm flying next week, and I'm hoping everything will be smooth through the security line!
I fly often with MM pump and sensor. I was told not to say I have a pump, because then they have to "check" it. I wear it and if they ask I tell them. I am sure they see it in all cases. It always goes fast. I have never had a problem. I have been to China, Israel, Jordan, Ukraine etc. without a problem.
