Diabetes Supplies I Pack for Vacation

[@chris-malek]

I buy running "gels" or "goo" packs way cheaper than the diabetic version.

[@drewwiegert2101]

Really good information, thanks for all the reminders!

[@brendaparker6766]

Great advice for travel!

Hi Justin- A very helpful video; thank you!

[@diabe_tech]

Glad I could help :)

[@tayloreverett6975]

What bag/organizer do you use to travel with all of this or your extra medical bag that you use when traveling?

[@ShesDiabetic]

Such an awesome video! I’m actually editing a packing video currently myself! lol! I love the idea about the stick on gems - I never thought about that but now of course I must order them immediately!! Thank you so so so much for your awesome videos!!!!

My endocrinologist said diabetics should never take vacations!

[@OmMohamed-fr2ob]

What is vacation ?

[@wesmoran5215]

droplet needles for a qwikpen! i forgot those, and only those, when i flew home. a loved one was able to get one at a pharmacy, luckily, bc they sell them.

Hi Justin, just wanted to let you know that every endocrinologist I have ever had and I’ve been a diabetic for over 40 years has said you should always wear identification saying that you are a type one diabetic

[@alliemay6076]

In case no one ever told you this, glucagon doesn’t work if you’ve been drinking alcohol!! Use something like instaglucose, a gel that can be administered sublingually. I always keep a couple on hand. They’re also pretty inexpensive (at least where I live I think I paid $7)

[@OmMohamed-fr2ob]

Waw

[@sarahbetterton3681]

Did you travel with your extra G7 out of the box? That would save so much space!!

[@diabe_tech]

One was in the box, the other wasn’t. Normally I take them out, def helps with packing :)

[@ChinaAl]

I thought the new Dexcom G7 won't support insulin pumps yet?

[@diabe_tech]

It doesn't, but I use Loop, a non-FDA cleared system that it does work with omnipod and g7 :) I've got a video on KZbin explaining Loop. Check it out.

[@ChinaAl]

@@diabe_tech Thanks for your reply but I'm not on a pump. type 2 pills and inulin pen.
