I was also advised to not go through a full scanner with my pump.

Wow! I would never do the full body scanner with the pump. But as I said,
it's the Dexcom that has the real sensitivity.

Joyce,
I just flew for vacation to Maine and all I had to do was pull the pump out
of my pocket and show them, and then they put me in the full-body scanner
and I was all set!
