Wow, nice to know. I hadn’t flown since I had my pump and had been told not to go through x-ray by either the libre or omnipod people. (I don’t remember which). When I got to the airport, LAX, we asked for a wheelchair as it was a walk and I have back issues that I had made worse by a fall. I asked for an alternate TSA clearance because of my medical devices and was told to go through the scanner.
There were literally only 2 choices where I was at, the x-ray or the FBS. When I reminded them I had a pump and sensor they said they send everyone through the FBS with no issues that it wouldn’t hurt anything.
But that I had to go through one or the other. I figured in a different part of the airport there was probably a different process, but at this point my back was killing me and I caved and went through the FBS,
I had no issues, I was wearing a pod not the pump. The libre sensor had really erratic readings but I was in tons of pain and that shoots my BG up anyway so I couldn’t tell if it was damaged or just erratic because of meds and pain. The readings I did take were off, but there again not unexpected because of meds. (It turned out I had fractured my back the week before)
But I didn’t know you could call before and now will know to be insistent about pat down only!
