Tips"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will airport security mess with my CGM?&#8221; If you had that thought while trying to plan your next trip, you aren&#8217;t alone. There is so much to consider when traveling with diabetes &#8211; managing your health, traveling through new routines, and the various things that can screw up your plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airport security is one of the most intimidating hurdles for users of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM); thus, it is completely sensible you would ponder how you can get through security without damaging your device or unnecessarily delaying your travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, the good news: travelling with a CGM does not have to be such a challenging task. With a little preparation and understanding of airport processes, you can spend little time navigating checkpoints while continuing to manage your glucose readings confidently. This guide will walk you through all you need to know to fly with a monitor, from TSA details to what to do to travel more efficiently and with less anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can CGM Devices Go Through Airport Security?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course you can take a CGM through an airport security checkpoint. However, knowing how to convey and follow the screening protocol can help smooth the process and make for a more relaxing screening experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical Device Status<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continuous Glucose Monitors are classified as medical devices, but you can bring them as carry-on and check luggage. Unfortunately, some CGMs may include electronic components and transmit data wirelessly via Bluetooth or radio frequency; therefore, you may need to endure additional scrutiny.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TSA\u2019s Official Stance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The TSA officially allows passengers to wear medical devices, including CGMs, through screening, but the TSA advises passengers to let the TSA officer know, so it can be processed correctly through screening procedures. Stating it is a medical device can limit scanners exposure or manual disruption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Are CGMs Screened at Airport Security?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different screening technologies are utilized at security checkpoints, such as millimeter wave scanners, metal detectors, and X-rays, which may have a slightly different effect on CGMS. Therefore, it is helpful to know what to expect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. X-ray Machines<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are used to scan carry-on and checked baggage.The majority of transmitters, receivers, and sensors in most continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can withstand exposure to X-rays. However, it is best to avoid multiple X-ray exposures, particularly for sensors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You may want to keep your CGM components in your carry-on baggage so that they are easy to access and don&#8217;t suffer abuse in checked baggage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Walk-Through Metal Detectors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because CGM parts are composed of small amounts of metal, your CGM may trigger metal detectors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to do: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell the TSA agent that you have a CGM, and then request alternative screening (e.g., manual pat-down or hand-held wand) since you do not want to go through the metal detector again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Millimeter Wave Scanners (Body Scanners)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Millimetre-wave body scanners are safe for CGMs as they produce harmless radio waves. They are now commonly used as the main methods for screening body-related items at most U.S. and international airports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to do:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These scanners usually do not affect CGMS; however, you should always notify security so that they can proceed according to CGM safety guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips for Traveling with a CGM Through Airport Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By planning ahead, traveling with your CGM can be stress-free. The following are some tips from travelers who have experience with CGMs:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Carry Documentation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be safe, carry a prescription or note from your doctor stating that you require a CGM for medical purposes. This can be a lifesaver if you are challenged at screening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Inform TSA Officers Proactively<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you arrive at the security checkpoint, tell the TSA officer you are wearing a CGM. This will signal the officers to use federal screening procedures for medical devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Request Alternative Screening<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the device alarms or you have an alert with certain kinds of scanners, ask for a manual check instead of screening with those devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Keep Devices in Carry-On Bags<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not check anything of any CGM equipment. In your hand luggage, keep your sensors, transmitters, receivers, and backup equipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Bring Extra Supplies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may have delays, lost luggage, or if something just goes wrong as technology sometimes does. In any case, take extra sensors, batteries, patches, and chargers to use as replacements if you need to swap one out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Know Your Device\u2019s Guidelines<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure you are abiding by the travel suggestions for your CGM model. Some brands are clearer than others that you should not expose your CGM to various kinds of scanning equipment, even if the TSA says it is ok.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Use Protective Cases<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your CGM parts in a sturdy, cushioned case to prevent unintentional damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CGM Use During Flights: Additional Considerations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s how to make sure your CGM will work properly during your travel once you&#8217;ve cleared security:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Altitude and Pressure Changes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CGM&#8217;s are designed to operate under standard flight altitude and standard cabin pressure. You can be confident that the device will operate throughout your flight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Device Storage<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will want to keep your receiver or connected phone close to your body (in a pocket or in the seatback storage). You will not want to store it in the overhead compartment and miss a reading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulin and Other Supplies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are carrying insulin or other medication, you will want to verify your airline&#8217;s position on flying with your diabetes supplies. Normally, with appropriate documentation, you can take insulin when it is in a liquid form.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to Do If Your CGM Device Is Flagged at Security?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have planned well, and now your CGM is flagged.
