  • Alc. swabs

I bought the case that Smiths sells - In there I have spare meter, 2-3 sets - battery - basically anything I would need for a couple days - I plan so that I dont ever have to take an emergency trip back to the house - Being prepared means that I can be more spontaneous -
I dont carry any insulin - worst case I can pull some from the cartridge in the pump - In 3 plus years I think I have done that once

I carry the above bag in my backpack - In the backpack I have a bunch of carbs - smarties- breakfast bars etc - once again so that no mattter what happens I can react to BG issues with little or no trouble - no need to find a store or change plans

Currently using a Cozmo - Just received my second.
Also just received Freestyle Navigator. Its a little funny having a blue tooth transmitter on my belly.
Wish I had started pumping 10 years ago
