Following another topic, I thought it would be interesting to see what people take with them on a day to day basis as it does seem to vary based on an individual's preferences. Ignoring your pump, if you use one, as that's a given, what else do you carry with you?
For me personally, on a work day, I'll sling my blood testing meter in its case and a Novopen in my bag, and there's always a Mio in my desk drawer. Then I have my RileyLink in my pocket for Pump to iPhone comms. I don't really need the blood meter as I'm using a Dexcom G5 and I always bolus off that.
On a night out, it goes down to less. I'll simply have the RileyLink and a Pen.
When on MDI, I used to carry similar, but with two pens rather than a pump. How does your kit look?
