Traveling, continued:
•
Pack your insulin carefully so that it is not exposed to extreme temperatures or
temperature changes
•
Pack your pump supplies in carry-on luggage when traveling by air or train. Do not pack
your supplies in checked luggage. Contact the Federal Aviation Administration (or your
•
country equivalent) or your local airport security office before traveling by air to obtain
prescription/medical supply carry-on regulations
•
Adjust your pump’s clock when crossing time zones
•
Insulin pumps will rarely set off airport metal detectors, so there is no need to remove
your pump when passing through airport security. However, as airport security
technology becomes more sophisticated, it is possible that an insulin pump will set off the
detector.
For more information on traveling with insulin pumps, visit the ADA website
(www.diabetes.org) or call your local airport for security guidelines that may apply.
Intimacy
The Animas pump need not interfere with intimacy. You can disconnect most infusion sets.
Always follow your healthcare team’s guidelines when disconnecting from your pump. You
may need to compensate for missed basal insulin. Also, before and after you disconnect for any
length of time, remember to check your blood glucose levels.
