LOL...What they don't know, won't hurt them. I don't have the BD Link meter or MM pump anymore, but do have the MM CGMS & left mine on during all my flights. Only thing I did was silence alarms. Nobody had a problem with it & they didn't say a word. In fact, one of the flight attendants who has a relative with Diabetes was talking to me about the CGMS system.

I don't know why the FAA set it up that way originally, but it's been that way for years. Same applied to cell phones, but they're now considering changing it so people can at least text one another while in flight. What I don't get is that CGMS systems don't even operate on the same freq. as the plane equipment does.
