| Though some people can use the pre-mixed insulins with some success, I don't think you'll find any member here who endorses them. Basically what the pre-mixed will force you to do is "eat to cover your insulin", as opposed to giving insulin to cover what you eat. I know it's not the topic you started, but if I were you, I'd look into getting onto a seperate basal (long-lasting) insulin and bolus (fast-acting) insulin, and get on a new regimen based on those--I think your results will be better than you are getting now.
Now, back to the topic at hand...When I go to "fun parks" I always wear those shorts with the extra pockets on the thighs. They're trendy, so you can find them anywhere, and they are more than ample enough to lug around the meter/lancets/strips/insulin, and have never been uncomfortable for me. There is also the "fanny-pack" option, but to me, those are...well, I don't want to be offensive, but suffice it to say you won't catch me wearing one.
Something else that I have found to be a boon for diabetics is the "Insulin Pen" (comes in many varieties). I use either the Humalog or Novolog pens (fast acting). What's nice about the pens in the scenario you are talking about is they are innocuous, fit into a pocket, and the needles for the pens are very small and conveniently sized, so again, can fit nicely into a pocket. Check those out to carry with you at the park in order to contain hyperglycemic issues.
