security technology becomes more sophisticated, it is possible that an insulin

Association (CDA) website (www.diabetes.ca), or call your local airport for security

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.
