ok, todays prompt was about what I carry around every day with me.... so instead of writing about that i thought it would be easier to show you with pictures :)
so here is my D bag.... i use a make up bag to carry everything around as its got more room than the normal meter cases and means i can keep everything together :)
and the stuff inside.....
- 2 insulin pens (novorapid = red and levemir = blue)
- glucose meter
- test strips
- finger stabber
- pot to hold all of my used needles, strips and lancets
- needles
- lancets
- ketone meter
- blood ketone strips
- diabetic id (card with contact details and hypo symptoms)
thats what i carry around every day with me in my bag so that im prepared for anything that happens. diabetes doesnt exactly come light.
Hey Im Jenni and im 16, i saw your post on the asthma uk facebook wall so i decided to check you out. Its amazing how much of a difference two years can make isnt it? i thought hauling my asthma inhalers, spacer and peak flow (sometimes) around every day was hard but taking all that with you, must be hard. i wonder, do you have to carry around a medic alert bracelet with you too? anyway if you want to have a look at my blog its www.mylungsmylife.wordpress.com
ReplyDeletehiya, yeah 2yrs is a fairly long time when it comes to stuff like this :) you get used to it, bit of a pain when i want to go out, but then i need it so i just get bigger bags :) yeah, i normally wear a medic alert bracelet or anklet plus a card in my purse and a dogtag on my car keys so im covered if i ever forget to wear the bracelet :) ooh thanks, will have a look xx
DeleteYeah i think its a good idea to have a medic alert with you, i just carry my asthma medication card but i think if i was having an attack not many people would think to look in my wallet. Hope your doing alright x
