[Diabetes-Talk] G5 mobile and airplanes

[Tamera]

My Doc always gave me a letter which I typically requested at my annual.
The app should run fine.. it's just Wyfi you turn off, you might have to
turn your Bluetooth on and off, but I always used my Bluetooth while on a
plane.. but there was a glitch with turning off wyfi, still not a big deal,
s	just turn off and on again you Bluetooth if it occurs.

Hi all!  I am traveling tomorrow via airplane and was wondering how to
manage the mobile app and iPhone on the plane.  I usually turn my phone off
until landing, but I can't be without glucose readings for that long.  Can I
just have my phone on airplane mode?  Also, I was told that I  should only
be hand patted through security-no scanners of any kind.  I thought the full
body scan was safe for the Dexcom and insulin pumps, but I guess it is just
as bad as the regular metal detector.  Between all of my devices and my
guide dog, I just need to insist  on  being patted down.  Thanks for any
suggestions.  

 

                                                                Jamie
