Traveling with Omni Pod

Welcome to the forum, @Misty!

We, also, travel with both Omnipod and Dexcom, with our 13-year-old T1D son. How old is yours?

Dexcom recommends not letting sensors through a body scanner, so we always ask for him to get a patdown, and hand out our spare sensors by hand to TSA so they don’t get scanned. Just to test, I had two sensors scanned once: one of them was quite noisy, while the other was fairly normal. So it is not clear to me if it really makes a difference: maybe if they get scanned multiple times? Several people on this forum travel with sensors and let them go through scanners with no problem.

There is no other concern I would have for anything else. If you are going to Disney World right now, there won’t be any temperature issues for your insulin, so carrying it in a regular bag will be fine. If it was at another time where heat would be a problem, I would suggest this:

It worked very well for us while traveling in Costa Rica in summer for two weeks.

Are you accustomed to traveling with your diabetes kit? If not, many of us can give you a lot more tips!

I hope you will write a thread about your trip! You may want to introduce yourself in the welcome thread. Looking forward to reading many more of your posts!
