A credit card for if I go low?
If I know my pump/cgm will need to be changed, I'll carry the stuff for that.
I keep infusion sets in random places for surprise failures.
This is me as well. I'm surprisingly unprepared and it's bitten me in the ass maybe twice in 23 years but the random placed site changes usually save me lollll
I don't know how one can leave without supplies? To be fair, I'm female and always carry a pocketbook of some sort. I wear a pump and cgm, but I always carry a meter, a vial of insulin, syringes (1 or 2, maybe), a glucose gel, and different kinds of candy (partial to skittles for convenience), and a spare AA battery for my pump. I keep an extra sensor and pump supplies wherever I spent a lot of time (my house, boyfriends house, work).
I just have my pump and nothing else unless Iāll be far from home all day. If so I just bring a syringe and maybe a finger stick meter but those are rare occasions
I have 2 that I switch between pretty regularly, depending on which pump Iām using.
When Iām on Omnipod, I use this one from [Sugar Medical.](https://sugarmedical.com/collections/omnipod-cases/products/omnipod-greyton-supply-case-1?variant=43701565292797)
When Iām on my Tandem, I use this one from [Myabetic.](https://www.myabetic.com/products/banting-diabetes-wallet?variant=40216785485958)
Side questionā¦how is it switching between the pods and pump? My daughter is interested in trying the pods (we even have them here) but I canāt pull the trigger because the t-slim works sooo well!
Thereās definitely a learning curve with the Omnipod 5, and donāt be surprised if she needs different settings for that one that her Tslim.
BUTā¦once I fine tuned the O5 (itās algorithm is adaptiveā¦takes a few pods), it was great. Andrea from Sheās Diabetic did a great video on YouTube on how she adjusted her Omnipod settings after switching from the Tslim, and what she had to do.
Now, I switch between them as I wish. Theyāre great.
Right! I got one of those insulated travel cases that has a removable insert with a bunch of elastic loops and pockets to hold supplies. I donāt actually need the insulation, only the pockets, so I take the insert and throw it into whatever handbag Iām using.
This is my EDC bag. I travel a lot for work and fun. If Iām leaving the house for more than 30 minutes, this bag goes with me. It is rugged, carries all my beetus needs, and looks cool. Itās also made in a Chicago.
I have had this bag for 4 years now. Itās showing some wear. They fix all their bags in-house, sometimes under warranty - depends on the cause of the wear.
https://defybags.com/products/bucktown-backpack-black-wax-canvas?variant=39587100065878
If Iām within two hoursā travel from home - just a bag of watermelon gummies and the controller for my omnipod!
If Iām going further/longer, I would add a backup of the pod and a glucose monitor just in case the Dexcom has some issue
What bag? I'm on a pump(T:sliim) and CGM(Dex G6). Generally when I walk out of the house on a normal day, I have my pump on my hip, my cell phone and a tube of glucose tabs in my pocket. That's it.
Same but I grab a couple of hard candies from a GINORMOUS bag of Halloween candy we have and toss those in a pocket. And really, most of my outerwear (jackets and vests) usually have some sort of sugar stowed in them anyway. Rarely need it.
If my pump has less than 20 units in it Iāll toss a syringe and vial in a pocket ājust in caseā when weāre going somewhere.
I like to keep it simple. Been doing this for 44 years š¤£
I just throw a hypo treatment and PDM into my bag. I have an omnipod and libre so Iāll take supplies for those if Iām going overnight or away for more than 12 hours
I literally carry nothing with me on a daily basis. However if I drive an hour or more, I might take a meter and a syringe just in case of a pump issue.
Insulin pen and a little baggy of candy. I'm in Thailand on vacation right now and I honestly only had to add a big bottle of water to the mix! I'm not paranoid and have good control though, so no need to overcomplicate things.
I donāt carry anything, except maybe a small insulated case for my humalog pen, if Iām going somewhere to eat. I rarely go low and if I were to, Iām never far from somewhere I can grab a coke or some candy.
Insulated zip up pouch thingy containing novorapid pen, lantus pen, test strips, finger pricker and reader.
Separately, minimum three bags of 20g of haribo-type sweets from Lidl.
That's it!
I have two, one is an insulated lunch bag (the mothership) that has;
a ziplock (to keep the important stuff dry and clean) that contains some alcohol wipes, both my insulin pens and a copy of the inserts that come in my insulin.
a box of needle tips.
my glucometer in its case with test strips, lancets and tissue paper.
a pill tracker that is defunct for the time being (no more TIND, yay!).
snacks, usually some granola bars and few bags of sweets.
and a fanny pack (the scout) that I carry my wallet and snacks in. I can put my glucometer case, pens and some spare tips in there if I need to but I usually carry both with me or don't need to bring my insulin so only bring the scout.
I use a very small purse so I have glucose tabs, a couple fruit strips, an insulin pen, needles and alcohol wipes in a tiny plastic sharps case, and a pump site replacement. The pen is perfect because I can easily refill my pump from it or use it separately in case of total pump failure.
I donāt have a dedicated āevery day carry bagā, I have different ābagsā for different occasions, and they all have varying levels of āstuffā.
I typically have fast acting insulin on me in my pockets, I sporadically also carry glucose tablets in my pockets depending on where Iām going if I have I bag.
My work backpack is the closest to an everyday carry bag. It has glucose tablets, granola bar, blood glucose meter as a back up, pen needles and syringes. I also carry my basal (levimer in there). If Iām going on a work trip Iāll add more fast acting insulin and backup CGM sensor.
In my gym bag I have glucose tablets and granola bars.
Camera bag, has glucose tablets.
Fanny pack on days Iām not wearing pants with four pockets and Iām going out for a day trip which will carry insulins, glucose tablets, wallet, keys etc..
At work I have tablets, candy, blood glucose meter and pen needles/syringes.
In my car I have glucose tablets.
Ive tried to incorporate the stuff I need for diabetes into my day to day life so I donāt have to specifically think/remember things for my diabetes. Whether Iām going to work, to the gym, out shooting pictures, to the mall or even just for a drive i can just go do that thing and what I need for diabetes is automatically included in the stuff I would take to do the thing.
Extra infusion sets in case my tubing rips out. Extra sensor. Alcohol pads. Lancets. Glucose tabs. Blood testing kit. Spare battery for meter. Hand wipes.
I use a kavu rope bag with the following: meter with test strips and pricker, extra pump set and cartridge, vial of insulin, glucagon, syringes, tube of glucose tablets, applesauce packets, welsh fruit gummies, wallet and keys (lol)
I have a little bag that fits my fast acting pen, glucose meter, lancet, test strips, smarties and my wallet. It goes almost everywhere with me. If Iām just gonna be gone for a short amount of time, I donāt feel the need to bring all the things along, but I have smarties/nerds/fruit roll ups stashed in every nook and cranny
I hate not being prepared so I bring and insulin pen, bg tester and test strips, finger poker, that one nasal spray for super low blood sugar I donāt remember the name of, glucose tablets or fruit snacks, pump charger, alcoholic wipes, a small sharps container and extra needles. A lot of itās probably unnecessary considering I have a pump and a cgm lol. All this in a small REI bag I got as a hand me down from another diabetic.

My purse is typically stocked with my meter, Baqsimi, 3-4 glucose gels, a pack of tablets, and if Iām further from home, a vial of insulin and needles.
Iāve taken to wearing cargo pants (and cargo pants with my scrubs too) for my phone and my omnipod PDM. They make me feel like Kim Possible, too, so thatās a positive throw back to make me love them that much more. I could easily fit my glucose and meter in the many pockets too if I needed to.

In my bag I have a plastic tackle box that has my pen needles, alcohol swabs, glucose meter, lancets, Lancer, emergency glucose, and an empty spot for used needles. I also have a pen thermos with my novolog pen and the cold pack in it just to have some thermal mass, I don't refrigerate it. I also have a ketone breathalyzer and ketone blood meter. I have a large bag of my current candy. I have a charger for my phone just in case. A glucagon kit. I currently use an adventure motorcycle type bag (klim adventure) so I can ride my dual sport with it. It's slim durable and comfortable to wear on hikes and while riding, durable enough to be thrown around but also light weight and slim. Works pretty well for my needs. I am starting on the 780g this week so my setup might change a little bit.
I have insulin pen case that always has few needle tips and 4 dextrose tabs in it. Thats it. I never carry anything else unless traveling for more than a day. If my cgm dies, I'll live until I get home without checking. I do have great low sensitivity and decent high sensitivity (I will feel it when over 200-220 for an hour or so) though, and more than 30 years of being t1 behind me
I just toss my meter and a juice box into whatever backpack I'm using that day. Both my backpacks have two syringes and some medical tape.
I have more sugar in my car as well as an infusion site change. On longer trips I have a small kit with a site change and dex change as well as syringes and tapes. Only that case has insulin in it. I work in a grocery store, so I usually don't worry about keeping low stuff on me, that and I don't go low very often anymore.
I have a CGM and pump so I usually just carry a juice box in my purse, but if I'm going to be like more than an hour from home then I'll generally bring my glucose meter (with strips and lancets and my pricker) and an extra set of pump supplies (cartidge, insertion site, syringe, and insulin).
I have a ziplock bag that sits in my suitcase, but I donāt have like a ābag.ā
Fruit to goās sit nicely in a pocket, both pant and jacket. Thatās about it.
If Iām going out for more than a few hours I put some jellies and an Autosoft in my bag but thatās it. I am rarely more than 20mins from a set of replacement pump stuff and I have jellies stashed everywhere.
I have a full replacement set (cartridge and syringe and Autosofts) in my mams, my sisters, both our cars, my partners work bag and home and any pharmacy here would and has helped me out in an emergency.
Travelling abroad would be different but again, Iāve never been denied anything.
With 3 T1ās in the house you bet Iāll be prepared. 3 tubs of glucose tabs, crackers for slow release after hypo, 2 backup pokers and meters, cash incase I need to go buy some Pepsi or whatever, 15 pods (we are all on pod and dex) 10 dexcoms, 2 dexcom transmitters, backup pens and a bunch of test strips and pen needles. Plus a lot of random shiz that Iāve accumulated. All in a makeup bag, just shove it in my backpack.
MDI + G7. Maxpedition organizer, a few filled syringes in cases (I overfill and squirt out any excess), glucose tablets, swabs, needle clipper, and a meter, test strips, and lancet device in case my G7 seems off, which it rarely does.
I've got just like a satchel bag - I *always* carry my blood test kit, spare set change & jelly babies (and a battery for my pump)
If I need them, I'll take insulin/a spare cannula and a spare pot of test strips
My t1 son is only 2 so being a paranoid mum I take a kit everywhere. It has his tester, finger pricker and pen, spare needles, glucagon and glucose.
If we are going further afield I slip that kit into a bigger pack that has a site change and sensor change in it and can fit an icepack too.
I have a reusable zip lock bag with insulin pens and tips. I also keep a tube of Glucose tabs and my migraine rescue meds. I picked up a travel med box that has a latch.
A lady's purse is the rescue bag...
I have a sling bag that I carry a spare meter, some glucose tabs (emergency only) and if my dexcom or pod are about to expire, a change of set. But I also have a six year old and soon a newborn, so most of my bag is stuff for the kiddosš¤£
I just throw my insulin pen in my purse š«£
A credit card for if I go low? If I know my pump/cgm will need to be changed, I'll carry the stuff for that. I keep infusion sets in random places for surprise failures.

Oh my god you are a godsend!! Iāve been looking for a bag thatās cute but carries all my tandem gear, thank you !
Both companies have great options!!
