What can go wrong will go wrong when you have diabetes. I am not saying this to be negative. It is simply a fact of the matter. That is why it is extra important if you or someone that you love has diabetes that they are always prepared for an emergency.

This active planning is considered a yoga practice because it is helping you to avoid all future suffering. If you are prepared for future problems, you can relax and enjoy the moment that you are in! That is what life is about.

I have a bag which has a full set change, alcohol wipes, batteries, insulin. Skin tac. Pretty little Le Sport sac bag with a lot of flowers. My previous one had hearts but was too big and got clutter with non-diabetic items.

Skittles and Starbursts. I buy in pre-packages. They taste good!

Traveling far from home extra insulin, syringes, extra glucose monitoring supplies, and the direct line to my Medtronic rep.
