I have some comments with TSORon in this post from May 09. I actually surprised myself re-reading them...
Thanks James, I remember that thread. Its amazing isn’t how far into the “ignorance zone” some folks will go to make someone else look bad. Quite entertaining. That one thread is a perfect example of how people will refuse to acknowledge their own ignorance and use aggressive tactics to cover up their own inadequacies.

Everything I posted in that thread is 100% accurate, as far as it goes. I still don’t know very much about those glucose devices, but then again they are pretty rare from my point of view. Rare enough that I have still never seen one.

So, you were involved in that one, which poster were you? One of the Anon’s?

I have a number of flights coming up in the next few weeks, including a couple to and from the US and will report on how things go.
Please do, I'd be interested in how your experiences were and if there is anything we can do to assist someone with your particular special needs more than we already are.
