[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1793885"] I am definitely more aligned with [USER=70171]@Engineer88[/USER] and leave the kitchen sink behind. However, the true answer is "it depends". - if I am out for less than an hour and don't intend to eat, I take hypo treatment. - if I am away for up to a day, I take with me my hypo treatment, BG testing kit, a spare pump battery and a syringe. My plan is to use the syringe to extract insulin from the pump cartridge and inject basal every hour if my pump fails. - if I have changed my set less than 2 hours before I leave, I will also add a spare cannula. - if I am away overnight, I will add a complete pump alternative set - this is either pens (and insulin cartridges and needles ... I forgot the needles in the past) or a loaner pump. I have a strong dislike of overpacking and, before I had diabetes, I would grab my house keys and run out the door so still dislike carrying a handbag everywhere I go. [/QUOTE]
