[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2671920, member: 372717"] I would second [USER=527103]@In Response[/USER] 's suggestion to take insulin (consider MDI so you'll need basal as well as fast acting) in case your pump fails. My dexcom has a horrible habit of failing when I'm on holiday and can't get replacement sensors so having enough test strips for an old school glucometer is essential. And you can't have too many glucose tablets :) All my camping trips were pre cgm and I definitely needed extra glucose. Is the weather likely to be sunny enough to use your solar charger? If you're off the grid then you'll need a spare for everything. [/QUOTE]
