This school year, everyone is going to be prepared!
Last year and the year before I wasn’t great about keeping a lot of supplies at school. A box of graham crackers for awhile….maybe a few extra juice boxes. But this year I’m not going to have the luxury of running up to the health room if someone pulls a set or needs more strips for their meter. So, in the hopes that as many issues as possible can be taken care of at school, I put together diabetes supply boxes for Evie and Luke:
I felt like I was packing for a week in the wilderness! Diabetes is all about troubleshooting and planning ahead, so there are multiples of everything that either of them could need at any time; anything they could need replaced, or forget, or run out of is in this box.
- Glucose Tabs
- Ketone Test Strips
- Infusion Sets
- Reservoirs
- IV-3000
- Skin Tac WIpes
- Alcohol Wipes
- Insulin Syringes
- Disposable Lancets
- Pump Batteries
- Extra BG meter
- BG Test Strips
- Lancets
- Meter Charger
- Snacks
- Juice Boxes
Did I forget anything?
The only thing not in here is insulin, which I will eventually have to provide per Washington State’s Disaster Preparedness Plan. I just don’t have enough right now to tie up two bottles at two different schools. That stuff’s like gold.

It fits!!!
Well, we’re they’re as ready as we’re they’re going to be. Happy Back-To-School (with diabetes)!
