CHAPTER 16 - LIFESTYLE ISSUES
Pack your pump supplies in carry-on luggage when traveling by air or train. Do Not pack your supplies
•
in checked luggage. Contact the Federal Aviation Administration (or your country equivalent) or your
local airport security office before traveling by air to obtain prescription/medical supply carry-on
regulations.
Adjust your pump's clock when crossing time zones.
•
Pumps will rarely set off airport metal detectors, so there is no need to remove your pump when
•
passing through airport security. However, as airport security technology becomes more sophisticated,
it is possible that a pump will set off the detector.
For more information on traveling with pumps, visit the American Diabetes Association (ADA) website
(www.diabetes.org) or call your local airport for security guidelines that may apply.
Intimacy
Your pump need not interfere with intimacy. You can disconnect most infusion sets. Always follow your
health care team's guidelines when disconnecting from your pump. You may need to compensate for
missed basal insulin. Also, before and after you disconnect for any length of time, remember to check
your BG levels.
