Hey, Kenny! I do a lot of water vacations... I bought one of the below waterproof sportguard cases for my pump. It has come in handy more than once. Have fun on your vacation south of the border.

Double what you would normally use for supplies.

Don't forget any extra hard-to-get supplies you don't usually need, but might - like extra adhesive tape, skin tac, iv preps, etc. I always forget iv preps and then have to try to explain that to pharmacists who look at me like I have no idea what I am talking about.

A way to keep your insulin cool like a Frio or a reusable ice pack or a little cooler could be a good idea. Just so you don't expose it to extreme heat or sun.

Twice the infusion sets and cartridges you could foresee using - never know how waterlogged your tape is going to get.

And good health items that aren't insulin-related like a hat, sunglasses, clean socks, or waterproof sunscreen.

Frio wallet is a great! You won't need ice & it's lightweight.

Extra meter battery. Mine go dead at the worst times. I take two meters when I travel.

Have a fabulous time!
