[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1340659, member: 30007"] To be fair though, what you choose to carry around is entirely up to you. I've typically got one spare Mio set with me in my bag, my Contour Meter in its case and a Novopen. That's it. If I need to reload a reservoir then I can do so from the Novopen into the reservoir in the pump. Not all of us carry multiple spares around with us on a daily basis, so I wouldn't carry a spare meter, spare pot of strips, spare reservoirs and additional spare infusion sets with me. If I'm away from home for more than a day, then that's a different matter, but for the day to day, I don't find I need a lot. I also used the CGM with the 640G, so when I was using that, I didn't bother carrying the Contour meter if I was going out at night. Calibrate beforehand then you have your glucose levels without needing anything else. [/QUOTE]
