Coming home with more than two of us could even carry!I fit all I need into a basic bag that I carry around 24/7, I only carry my meter, glucose tabs, pens, two needles and two batteries. This is in the event I am in a reasonable distance from home, if I'm travelling further I use a pack up box for spare vials, sets, tubing etc. When I first started pumping I carried EVERYTHING around, like you say this didn't really fit nicely into an everyday bag and didn't feel like I was getting the freedom I had hoped for. Over time I found a happy medium of carrying the necessities and stashing the rest so I didn't have far to go to get them, families houses, friends, work etc. Just what works for me.You might want to carry a little of everything that's up to you, especially while first starting out I would imagine, I would try get a bag that you can function with your other bits and bobs you carry around, and especially one with compartments so you can easily find something in time of need. My bag has two outside zips and one inside, the inside for valuables and the outside two separates my batteries, needles and glucose tabs, be weary if you carry cannulas you don't want to squash them!Also if your going to buy one then i'd go to a shop take all the stuff with you, make sure it fits nicely before you buy!</blockquote>
