I know this has been mentioned before on here, but thought it may be worth letting folks know that the Libre 2/2+ are ok going through airport X-ray scanners used for carry on luggage. I’ve done this several times over my last trip abroad and can confirm that the spare sensors in my carry on luggage are working ok as is the current one on my arm that went though the whole body scanning at some airports.

Hope this knowledge helps folks who are travelling for the first time with CGM and unsure about security screening.
 
Yeah, I have done this many many times with Libre and other CGMs and never had an issue.
The usual advice with insulin pumps is that they should not go through x-rays but this is mostly as they have not been tested and the x-ray strength varies at airport scanners.
