Diabetes Kit

What Is In Your Diabetes Kit?

Hello, I hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday. Today I wanted to do a blog post on my diabetes kit, so all the items I use when I am doing a set change and spare items I keep inside my blood glucose meter case.

Here is a check list of the items I keep in my container;

1. Needle Cutter

2. Alcohol Wipes

3. Skin Prep

4. Clear Medical Tape

5. Tripple A Batteries

6. One 10 Cent Coin

As you can see here I have a basic plastic container, the container houses everything just nicely. This container is also easy to travel with, I don't travel to different countries but I do go on small trips and I never travel alone.

When I do go on a small trip I always pack x2 cannulas as it is very easy for me to go through  cannulas and I pack my insulin. My set change will always happen in the middle of my trip so I make sure I am well prepared.

My Blood Glucose Meter Case

Here is a check list of what I keep in my case

1. Blood Glucose Meter (obviously)

2. Finger Pricker

3. Test Strips

4. Finger Wipes

5. Spare Lancets

6. Spare Test Strips

7. Spare Finger Wipes

I always like to keep spare test strips and finger wipes with my meter, I don't want to be caught out and have nothing on me, especially when I am out and about. It is always important to keep spare lancets with your meter so you can change the lancet regularly.

I hope this post will help another Type 1 Diabetic, the photographs were taken on my iPhone 6S. Please leave me a comment, I would love to hear what you keep in your Diabetes Kit and if there is a topic you would like to me write about just let me know.

I hope you have had a lovely weekend and I will catch you next time
