I have had this come up in my thoughts a few times and when I think about it properly there is actually things I can't live without.
I want to narrow it down to just 3 but there is always something else that I need as I a diabetic , so I have narrowed it down to,
1-my insulin pump,
2- batteries
3- insulin
4- lucozade or some sort of sugar.
5- monitor kit
6- food/drink.
I know these are pretty standard things but as a diabetic these are really important . Without all of these being diabetic would just not work. I panicked the other night that we had no AAA batteries for my pump so I've got a pack of 10 so that should last just under a year minus a few borrows maybe . The next panic was last night, I had my prescription for insulin but never got round to getting it. Just before bed my pump started to vibrate low reservoir. I then remembered no insulin :-(. Luckily when I got up my sugar was only 13 , I know that's high but it could of been worse. Luckily by 9am I was all ready to go again. Every one thing on that list is important and I need to start making sure these are always there. A hypo without sugar is dangerous yet I still think I will be ok until one day it won't be a good situation. Obviously the key things are insulin , monitor and sugar as a basic. I started ok injections so I would survive without the pump but would hope that will never happen.
I need to get it sorted. I can be so good with it yet I just want to be normal and think this is why I let things slip.
The next challenge is training for my 10k which will be another post when I get my trainers and start. Let's hope a temporary reduced rate helps me Train without too many hypos.
Wish me luck.
