Your diabetes kit should have all of the supplies needed to take care of diabetes when you leave home. It is recommended to have a kit that you carry with you every day and a larger kit for overnight or longer stays.
Your Every Day Kit:
CGM Receiver/Reader
Additional Items for the Overnight Kit
Replacement CGM supplies
Replacement Pump supplies
Extra Battery for Pump
Zofran (Ondansetron) for vomiting
You’ll need a bag to carry all of these supplies. The good news is, you have many options. Small backpacks can be found at stores like Target or Claires or at online diabetes supply stores like Myabetic, Sugar Medical, Pump Wear and Fifty50 Medical (half of their profits fund diabetes research). Since this is a bag that your child will take everywhere, choose something that suits their style as there are many fashionable options available.
