Re: [IPr] Testing in the food area or at the lockers
I FLY AT LEAST 3-5 TIMES A YEAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP AS
FAR AS SECURITY CHECKS GO. NEVER HAD TO SHOW ANY VERIFICATION FOR THE SUPPLIES
SYRINGES, ETC) I CARRY, ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE A LETTER FROM MY DOCTOR AVAILABLE TO
BE SHOWN AND THE INSULIN BOTLLE BOX WITH THE CURRENT PRESCRIPTION PRINTED ON IT.
I THINK THAT IS ALL YOU NEED, THOUGH I HAVE NEVER HAD TO SHOW IT.
