[QUOTE="Kalobe, post: 2058352, member: 27053"] I’m going on a cycle tour for a couple of months. It is recommended by Diabetes UK that one take twice as much insulin and syringes/insulin pens as one needs for the trip in case of breakages or unexpected delay. Mmm. They don’t really mention pumps and CGM. For the period I’m away I will need 3 boxes of cannulas; 3 boxes of reservoirs; 4 bottles of fast acting insulin; 3 boxes of CGM sensors; inserter and charger for the CGM. Usual blood testing kit; 15 boxes of test strips; lancets and Dextrose tablets. That is before I double up! I also need to take emergency long lasting insulin pens; pen needles; syringes for short acting insulin and glucagon kit. I will also use two Frio bags to keep the insulin cool as I won’t have a fridge. I could probably do with a loan pump too. Well that’s one full pannier. [/QUOTE]
