Tonight Steve and I are meeting at the airport and taking off on Steve's 30th Birthday Surprise Trip. He has no idea where I am taking him. Since he doesn't know where we are going I need to do his packing. He's going to pull out some of the basic (boxes, undershirts, ect) but I need to do the rest for him. He is a lot easier to pack for then me and my plethora of diabetes supplies, clothing, and shoes.
We are only going to be gone for 4 nights and 4 days so I won't need that much extra supplies but you can never be too careful.
Diabetes supplies for the trip:
My supplies include:
- Meter
- Back-up meter
- Batteries (for pump and meter)
- Test strips
- Alcohol swabs/skin-tac
- Medical tape
- Pump Resivours
- Infusion Sets
- Novolog insulin
- Lantus insulin for emergency
- Syringes
- Symlin
- Pen needles
- CGM (Dexcom Seven Plus)
- CGM Sensors
- Dexcom Charger
- Pump (of course!)
- Glucose Tabs (ugh, hate them but easy to travel with)
I am so excited for this trip I can hardly contain myself. It has been so hard keeping this a secret from Steve for as long as I have (bought tickets 3 months ago but have been planning for at least 6 months.) I hope my diabetes cooperates with me during this trip!
What supplies do you take with you when you travel?
It's bad enough we women overpack but diabetes just makes it worse. And I'm with you on sugar tabs - yuck! Although they've saved me many many times. Why can't they taste like something other than chalk?!
