My Diabetes Bug-Out Bag: One Bag for Work, Travel and T1D
What if your everyday work bag could also be your diabetes backup plan and your carry-on? For Leon Tribe, the answer is his Diabetes Bug-Out Bag: one carefully organized bag containing everything he needs for work, travel and life with diabetes. From his laptop and cables to hypo treatments, pump and CGM supplies, MDI backups, insulin temperature management, medical documentation and a few surprisingly useful travel essentials, everything has its place. In this practical guide, Leon takes us inside his Bug-Out Bag, explaining not only what he carries, but why — and how a little extra preparation can mean less last-minute packing, less stress and more freedom to simply pick up the bag and go.
