Collett2010 Posted February 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Has anyone cruised using the Libre Freestyle glucose sensor? I have only had mine for a month or two hand have not traveled with it yet. If so can you wear it and go on and off the ship ok with it? I know it says not be go through X-ray with it on so just seeing what others have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wibeachbum Posted February 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We travel with someone who has a pacemaker and can't go through x-ray. He just tells security and they take him to the side and do a quick manual search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted February 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I would try posting this is the general “ask a cruise question” forum . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted February 27, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2020 There is a metal detector to get on the ship, not an x-ray. I wear my Dexcom through the metal detector with no issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my dad has a CGM but couldn't recall what he had so I could accurately reply. He and my mom are avid cruisers (finishing a B2B on Princess this weekend) and I don't recall him having trouble with his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaN Posted February 27, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Our son wears Omnipod and Dexcom, we ask for pat downs through all security. Nothing would be worse than having these devices fail at sea with no possibility for replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracelyn Posted February 28, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I wear one. Never an issue X-ray doesn’t affect it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffy2003 Posted February 28, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I’ve been wearing the Freestyle Libre for nearly five years (transformed my life, honestly). I’ve been through 100s of airport scanners and on and off a few cruise ships - including most recently NCL Getaway, this month. No issues, no need to declare it. If I get a ‘pat down’ imposed I make them aware so they don’t accidentally knock it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
