MMM Insulin

Posted by Chris on Apr 7, 2010 in Uncategorized | 2 comments

There is nothing better than opening up a box full of insulin.  It’s a huge relief when you open it and you see 16 boxes of vials of insulin.  This is the earliest that I re-ordered my insulin, because I am going to be travel a lot over the next few weeks, so I wanted to make sure that I had it before I started to travel.

This upcoming weekend I am going to the Keys to go camping.  I have only been camping once or twice since I’ve had diabetes.  It is a lot different of a vacation to be camping than it is to be at a hotel or visiting home because you are constantly outside.  We aren’t doing the “camping” where you have running water and electricity, and fans and all the stuff that you shouldn’t have when you are camping.  We have a tent, a small grill, fishing poles, sleeping bags, lanterns and some fire wood.

I am taking 3 vials of insulin, a whole box of infusion sets, 3 reservoirs, 2 site injectors and 50 test strips.  I think that should be enough for Friday-Sunday.

The following Saturday I am leaving to fly home to PA for a few days and then I am going to NYC for a conference on the 19-21.  Anytime that I go to a conference somewhere up north, I like to try and take a trip to PA as well to visit family, especially since I have a new little niece up there as well.

Well, this is a short post, but I am trying to get a lot of things done in the next few days before I go on the camping trip.  I hope I don’t run into any pythons or Gambian pouch rats, if you don’t know what they are, read this!

    Good luck on your camping trip, and the rest of the traveling adventures! We go on a weeklong camping trip every year at the end of July, usually Sunday/Monday through Sunday. At a state park in nothern Michigan, so we have running water and such… But in tents with campfires and all the good times! Now that’s an adventure. Load up on supplies and take a small pharmacy, it seems. Anyhow, look forward to reading your accounts of it when you get back. I’ll make sure to blog about mine later in the summer, too.
