My Entire Diabetes Kit

In the beginning of my blog

 I done a post on my Diabetes kit and now six months later my tools have changed a little bit in the last six months. So I thought I would share the new tools in my kit including my new blood glucose metre and my record book.

The first thing that is new in my kit is Rock Tape, I love rock tape I think it is great, it is gentle on my skin and comes in a variety of colours/patterns. I use rock tape to put on top of cannula and a piece of tape for the loop. Side note I use Medtronic Sure-T 8ml Cannulas. I think the rock tape is a great way to get some excitement into any Diabetics routine.

The second thing would have to be my new metre, the Contour next link for the Veo, Paradigm Insulin Pump. I had a code that I used to get the metre for free. I think this metre is fantastic and the fact it has a backlight is awesome for when I have to test in the middle of the night. Where the strip goes also lights up which is a big plus in my book.

I have taken two photographs to give you an insight into my entire kit and it includes everything including my insulin.

As you can see from my record book my numbers have been pretty good today, I am happy that my numbers appear to be coming into line minus the hypos of course.
This is today's readings
This is my kit, I forgot to include the needle cutter my mistake
I am sorry for not having more photographs but I thought doing one photograph of my kit would be just enough and I had to include my record book.

As you can see I have my 
  • Blood Glucose Metre
  • Insulin Pump
  • Cannula & Reservoir
  • Alcohol Wipe & Skin Prep
  • Clear Tape for used cannula
  • Insulin Cartridge
  • I forgot to include my needle cutter
I hope you enjoy this post, I have kept it simple for today as this is just an update to my Diabetes kit. I think it is important to share these things as you might see something in my kit and want to try it out for yourself.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Until next time
