Go-to Diabetes Bag

If diabetes is now a part of your life, it's time to pack your bag.

Pick a bag, any bag you'll remember to take with you.

A satchel, a shaving kit, cosmetic bag, or something you can put in your purse, briefcase or backpack.

Now fill it with some of the essentials to manage your diabetes on-the-go.

First up -- add your testing supplies. Glucose meter, lancet, whatever you use.

Absolutely add in some hard candy or glucose pills to give you a quick way to boost your blood sugar.

Then slip in the medications you may need throughout the day.

Finally, pack some simple, healthy snacks to keep you going and not mess up your diet.

Zip it up, and take it with you always.

Your diabetes diagnosis may come with baggage, but a little preparation can help you travel through your day with ease.
