It's stocked with batteries, extra reservoirs, pump sites, a CGM sensor and anything else you can think of. I usually run out at work. :) Now, remember to restock the backup is a whole other story.victoriahttp://victoriacumbow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-56376512306171749102012-02-24T12:28:46.529-05:002012-02-24T12:28:46.529-05:00We found the Dex lasts about 3 days without a char...We found the Dex lasts about 3 days without a charge after we left the charging cord behind in another state. Like you, we now have two!

Can't keep temp sensitive stuff there though. We've done this for my daughter and it's been a backup to the backup in my purse or her school backpack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-40511169825159820072012-02-21T05:30:53.110-05:002012-02-21T05:30:53.110-05:00Michael,

Thinking I can (gently) suggest this to my husband, as batteries are often an issue for him. And yes, the best laid plans can still fall apart sometimes, because who hasn't fallen asleep on the couch? Unfortunately, you can't just leave your diabetes at home for the day!<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />LillyLillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850646712565307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5690084467070242215.post-27159318831697604172012-02-20T13:14:35.189-05:002012-02-20T13:14:35.189-05:00I finally started keeping a vial of insulin in the...I finally started keeping a vial of insulin in the fridge at work. I ended up stranded a few weeks ago when my husband dropped me off at work and I realized I was just about out of insulin in my pump, and had absolutely no backup supplies with me- not even insulin and a syringe.
