Deserted Island
You are on a deserted island what would you take with you?
1) A nook with as many books as possible
2) Water
3) JIF creamy butter and a case of Zesta crackers
4) a knife
oh right, I have diabetes... my list just got a lot longer.
Let's assume I'm stranded on said island for 1 month. I'd need:
4) two bottles of humalog insulin (kept cold)
a) cooler
b) ice machine
5) 10 pump site changes
a) 10 reservoirs
b) 10 sites
c) inserter dealio
6) a AAA battery
7) two vials of test strips
8) my meter
9) my lancing device (if I were a good type 1, I'd say lancets, but I'm not - I never change the poker)
20) glucose tabs - 3 bottles I think.
I think I could live with that simple list above. (I know most people could stop after my first 3 items.... the likelihood of me having the entire list with me at anytime while traveling is slim. Without insulin, I'd survive three days - tops.)

This is powerful! I tell people all the time they have no idea what it is like to plan to go on vacation or just away for the day and all the items you must take just in case! This just sums it up! Thanks!

This reminds me of a conversation I had with Kaitlin. We were watching Castaway with Tom Hanks and Kaiti turned to me and said it wouldn't matter if she survived the crash, she'd be dead anyway...she was maybe 15 at the time. I just looked at her and thought to myself...damn, too young to know stuff like that.
