Traveling to Paris

Taking my daughter to Paris and I'm wondering how smooth it is to travel abroad with a CGM. How strict is TSA, do I ask for a pat down, can you go thru the security w/o difficulties?

My blood sugars have never been better! thanks for any and all advice. Also, what has been your favorite thing about Paris, if…

I am having troubles right now with too many lows.I have reduced my TTD and I get very discouraged easily.I hate how a BS reading of more than 11mmol makes me feel.I need some words of encouragement as I try to find the right settings.If I at least stop the lows I can correct them and go from there.I have Pumping Insulin by John Walsh where it tells you how much to reduce your TTD but my pump totals aren't on the chart as I am on a small amount of insulin.
