Note Rapid and extreme changes in air pressure, for example
in an air plane that is taking off or when practicing sports
like hang-gliding, can inuence insulin delivery, especially
if there are air bubbles in the cartridge or tubing. This also
applies to rapid and extreme changes in temperature; for
example, when leaving a heated room and going outside
in cold weather.
We therefore recommend that you wear your pump close
to your body, remove any air bubbles from the cartridge
and tubing and also measure your blood sugar more
frequently in such situations.
3.1.3 Travelling with your pump
Ask your doctor or healthcare team about any special steps you
need to take before you travel. Take extra blood glucose testing
and pump supplies with you, and nd out where to obtain
supplies while you are travelling.
When you travel across time zones, make sure that the time and
date on your pump are set correctly to the local time.
If you have questions, contact your Accu-Chek Customer Care
(see inside back cover).

You must ensure that the Bluetooth

function is switched off
before boarding an aircraft, as emissions from your pump or
