Being a diabetic has stretched me in many ways, but nothing has been so stretched as the size of my purses. The first few months I struggled with what to carry, and got in trouble when I didn't have this or that with me, so now I have a list, and here's what I carry:
PDM Case with Dexcom pocket
- PDM
- extra needle for my pod (taken from another pod kit instead of throwing it away.)
- extra strips
- extra insulin
- lancet
- dexcom receiver
Separate Diabetic Bag
- medical Tape
- extra Pod
- glucose Tabs
- nuts and dark chocolate in a baggie
- Purel hand sanitizer
- alcohol swab
- humalog pen (just in case)
- extra batteries
- dexcom wall charger and USB
- extra tegaderm strips
These are my essentials and I go nowhere without them, so basically I carry two bags with me at all times in a very large purse.
What about you? what are your essentials?
