Comment by FatCatAnna on January 8, 2009 at 9:34pm - The only little boo boo in this video is where Amy states you don't have to carry insulin supplies with you anymore. That is not true - what if your pump stops delivering insulin? I always carry an insulin pen with me incase the pump isn't going to work. It could be the battery - so carry a spare battery. I also recommend carrying a spare infusion set / battery / few alcohol wipes. Now I'm not a gal who loves big purses - but trust me - you can cram this into a small bag - along with your blood meter (never forget that - for bolusing for that yummy cafe au lait). For longer trips - always carry back up supplies like insulin reservoir, etc. etc.!!!
