How do you store your equipment

 

[In Response]

Most of it is in a small bag that goes most places with me.
It is big enough to add a phone, credit card and house keys to so useful as a handbag or small enough to go inside a larger back pack or work bag.

My insulin stores are a third of a shelf in the fridge and everything else lives in a small drawer.

Dibs on the Leffe blonde Antje, it's not good for you!

Just on tablets so my ready supply is on top of my computer. The rest is in a cabinet. Always carry maltodextrins in my trousers, in the car by my bed and in my cycling bag. Also have a glucose meter in there and a small first aid kit. The "cycling" bag is also what I take with me to work when I go by car.

But even if you're not out for a long time, what about the two pens sitting in your car for weeks? It gets awfully hot in a parked car.

I keep my testing bits in a small make up bag. If I’m driving anywhere it’s handy to just leave in the glove box in the car. I don’t see the need to take it everywhere I go or if I’m going out for the day.
