Free Style Libre Continuous Glucose monitor
I've just started to wear one of these relatively new CGM. They attach to the back of the upper arm by a very stickie glue and cannot be taken off and on. They are good for 14 days and each costs around $75, or so. It's mostly plastic but it has got some metal bits in it. Size is about the same as a €2/£0.5 coin.
I don't have a prescription for it (Not required here) but I will have my insulin pens/prescriptions with me.
Before taking my first flight, next Thursday, I thought I would seek knowledge from the Pprunesphere.
I'm hoping that it won't set off the metal scanner, but realise that it likely will. Have security teams been briefed on their existence? Do they know that they shouldn't be taken off, and can't be reapplied?
Any personal experiences will be valued highly.
PS. The manufacturer says no issues for device from metal detector or X-ray, I'm more worried about the human element.
