HOW TO TAKE FIASP®

Proper storage
Your insulin must be kept at room temperature (below 86°F), so be sure not to store it in places like the trunk or glove box of a car or checked baggage on a flight where the temperature may get too hot or cold.
Keep on hand
If you are flying, make sure that you take your insulin and other diabetes medicines with you in your carry-on bag. Checked luggage could get lost or delayed! The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows you to bring diabetes supplies in your carry‑on.
Communicate
It is a good idea to let TSA agents know before the security screening process begins that you have diabetes and are carrying supplies. You can continue to wear your insulin pump while going through a common airport metal detector as it will not harm the device or trigger an alarm. However, you should not send your pump device through an X-ray machine.
