[Day 17] Packing for a 10-day trip with type 1 diabetes

[@bryansmith5082]

Pen needles. Not sure I saw them.

[@megtypeone]

I had them in my meter bag! Just didn’t call out. But thank you!

[@eprohoda]

wha'up-wow, splendid !Meg-

[@jessdunn4957]

Enjoyed this video-thank you. Have a great trip
I’m going to check out those Stasher bags - they look very handy

[@megtypeone]

They’re great!! And for more than just t1d- I use them for everything!!

[@babytigtig3795]

Hope you have a safe trip with good blood sugars.

[@megtypeone]

Thank you!

[@chanc7219]

Very helpful video. Do you ever have any issues with insurance not allowing insulin pens since you're also using insulin vials and a pump? If so, how did you overcome that?

[@megtypeone]

I haven’t had any trouble!

[@kirbyreynolds6479]

I noticed you use low snacks not glucose tabs. Is there a reason? I go hard for tabs, but should a be a snax lady?

[@megtypeone]

Just personal preference! Glucose tabs are typically more expensive and after 23 years I’m pretty sick of them😂

[@normamorales253]

How many insulin pens fit in you traveling bottle?

[@megtypeone]

I think it fits 7!

I went to Mexico this year and OF COURSE for the first time ever my Medtronic malfunctioned. I had omnipods for a backup but since i was in the pool, those fell off very easily. I am very glad i brought my extra lantus pen otherwise i would have been totally screwed

[@megtypeone]

Omg!! I’m so sorry that happened! But glad you had backup!

Have you ever had issues with security with the water bottle with pens in it? I can imagine it looks "strange" to the person viewing the x-ray scanner machine 😂

[@megtypeone]

Not yet!
