When traveling with an insulin pump, it is essential to take extra care. Keep medications, including the insulin pump, in their original packaging. Request a physical screening or metal detector instead of an X-ray machine for continuous glucose monitors or insulin pumps. Avoid injecting air into insulin bottles while flying, as higher altitude may affect blood glucose readings. If flying, be aware that insulin kept in the uncooled cargo hold may freeze or become too hot, so it is recommended to pack gel packs to keep insulin cool.
