Bring twice as much water as you think you will need. I also bring baby wipes for easy cleaning before testing. Another hint for clean hands is an old girl scout trick. Buy one of the water jugs with the spout, and a ladies pantyhose sock (the ones that come in the plastic egg)... and place a travel size bar of soap in the sock, and tie it around the spout of the jug... soap on a sock, always there, always handy, makes cleanup easy; the soap will come right through the sheer sock when you wet it.

As far as supplies go, be careful not to freeze insulins in the cooler, don't submerge them in the water/ice either due to bacterial concerns. I too recommend the medicool wallet pouch, it works great!
