I am off on holiday and getting conflicting answers as to whether or not I can wear my sensor when going through the airport arch and also whether or not my spare sensor is able to go through the x Ray scanner or not and do I need a letter. Thank you for any help.

I’ve been through normal scanner and full body scanner many times, also put my spare sensors through x-Ray, with no issues whatsoever. I do carry a doctors letter confirming the need to carry insulin, needles, sensors etc but in 28 years never had to show it!
My letter makes no mention of my sensors. But there again, I have never declared tham and let them through the x-ray, if unattached, and archway, if attached.
I have never experienced failure or problems and they have never been detected in many many flights.
