  Were you nervous and or anxious the first time you traveled on an airplane with T1D? Share your experiences in the comments!
  I was super nervous and it was horrible. They stabbed my pump and hands for bomb residue. They detained me for a long time. It was embarrassing and humiliating I learned not to wear it through the metal detector. If I put it in my purse they just thought it was a beeper and I got through with far less issues.

  I have been in Sales my whole career and until recently traveled in a twenty state territory. During that time I was diagnosed with T1 and it was just one more thing to deal with. I no longer travel quite as often or extensively but that’s because my wife and I have 2 sets of twins and 5 girls under 7. 5 small kids is much harder than Air travel.

  I mistakenly answer Yes, however, I never had any problems flying. I have best guess because I have been in Aviation since 1963, and flown well over 2000 flights, especially when I was an Airworthiness Inspector for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). I flown all around the world. Ask me if I had problems after the flight because of time changes and I would comment very strongly, YES.

  My first flight with diabetes I was not on insulin. But my second one I was, and I had a metal needle and glass syringe to keep in alcohol. It was 1971, and no one screened luggage, so it was not a problem. The first time I worried was flying from England to the U.S. a week after the shoe bomber. They were very suspect of all luggage and I could only have a single small bag on the plane. I stuffed it with syringes and insulin. We were moving back to the U.S.A. after living abroad for 15 years, and I needed to bring a 3-month supply so I could have time to move into a house and find a doctor to prescribe new supplies.

  My problems with flying with a "tubed pump," as you call it, were caused by the seat belt pressing on the tubing and blocking the flow. I now keep my pump in a belt with a pocket under my clothes, and keep it way above the seat belt.
