What to expect on a flight to shanghai if on pump for type 1 diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No huge changes: You can use the same pump settings while on plane. 1 study came out in 2011 stating you might get a 0.623% increase in Insulin delivery because of the altitude but that's very small so no need to change anything.
