  I always bring extra infusion sets and CGM sensors in case of accidental tear out. With Tandem pump, a charger is also essential. I forgot mine in my last weekend away. I use a Dexcom G6, so don't need to finger stick, but always bring my meter & strips just in case, and extra lancets as sometimes my non-diabetic family members like me to check their BG. I always take a vial and syringes in case of pump failure. For overnight trips also bring juice boxes/ glucose tabs and glucagon in case for lows. Hard to travel light as a T1D, especially with those GIANT Dexcom sensor inserters! 🧳🧳🧳

  Just did this and brought almost all of these things. Didn’t think to pack an extra transmitter tho. But, did have 3 ways of administering insulin, plus CGM and regular meter. So, I knew I was good. I choose “loaner pump” too but really it’s an old pump that still works. I actually had to use it the week before my trip for a pump failure emergency, so glad I have it.

  Having been a Boy Scout when I was young taught me to be prepared for anything. I tend to over pack for everything. So, I pack just about everything listed. However, I never considered taking one of my old insulin pumps. I'll consider it. But for a 7 day trip, I'm not sure. I guess it depend upon where I'm going.

  I was in Boston in 2013 when we were all confined to our hotels while they searched for the marathon bomber. I also remember 9/11 when planes were grounded. I never assume I can easily restock supplies and always take at least double the amount I'll need of everything including my backup pump. Fingers crossed that I never need it. I hope I could be one of the ones who share live saving stuff with anyone who gets caught without it.

  Ughhh the extra CGM sensor is the worst. It takes up an unnecessarily large amount of space.

  It is WAY TOO MUCH stuff to be prepared away from home. Generally, half my suitcase. And even more stuff if it is a two-week trip. You missed snacks and glucose tabs.

  I'm really surprised at the low percentages of people that take extra supplies. We don't carry an extra pump and haven't used one long enough to have old extras. But even though we are, in general, very light packers, we always make sure we have extra D-supplies, in case a sensor fails or is ripped off, a bottle of insulin gets damaged, etc. But it also depends on WHERE we are going. On an overseas trip of any length we'd always take an extra transmitter. But we'd be unlikely to take one on a domestic trip unless we were going for several weeks. We always take pens even on an overnight trip ever since my husband flew to NYC on a day trip with some buddies, his pump failed, he had not brought pens for back-up and his BG soared! I see the burden of carrying extra supplies as the price to pay for insurance that nothing will actually fail.

  I take twice as much pods, CGM supplies as I know I will need. It is a pain to carry all that junk but necessary. We never know when a pod or sensor will fail. I also take syringes just in case my pump fails which it never has in the almost three decades I have used one. I also carry a few Baqsimi just in case I have a severe low. I carry more insulin than I know I will need since I broke a bottle once when overseas and almost ran out on another foreign trip.

  A while back I went to the UK for a choir tour. I had just acquired a CGM, a G4 Platinum, specifically as a safety measure for the trip. I don't bring second meter any more, but this was before the Dexcom was trusted for bolusing, so I was still meter-dependent and felt I needed an extra just in case. As it turned out I DID need it, but not for myself. There was another, newly dx'd, T1 on the trip and she lost her meter when she left her bag on the bus or some such. So I was able to come to the rescue. It was possible to buy a replacement of course but European/Brit ones are calibrated in moles rather than mL so that was still a glitch--she used mine for the remainder of the trip.

  Additional (i.e. beyond what I usually carry with me) glucose tablets and a dose of Baqsimi.

  I agree that it depends on where the trip is. My decision point is how long would it take to get replacement supplies and what are the effects of a delay. I’m MDI Tresiba which lasts >24 hours, which significantly reduces the urgency to replace background insulin. For NYC, I brought nothing extra. For my trip to a third world country- I brought one, and only one, extra of each supply including a CGM receiver. Dexcom wasn’t available where I went and I worried if something happened to my phone, I wouldn’t be able to download the software if I bought a replacement phone.
