- Emergency medical supplies including tissues, rubbing alcohol, syringes, cotton balls, testing strips, blood glucose meters and any other items you use in day to day management of your diabetes. Be prepared for emergencies by planning to store your insulin or other medications in a cooler.
- Bottled water, granola bars, canned nuts, peanut butter crackers, dry cereal, juice boxes or other snacks that you have found useful in controlling your blood sugar level should be kept with your emergency medical supplies.
- The regular emergency medical supplies items found in most disaster kits such as a first-aid kit, whistle, candles, matches, gloves, flashlight and radio with spare batteries. These items can be a major comfort in times of disaster.
- Copies of your updated medical records are a great idea as well. By packing copies of your insurance card and prescriptions in a waterproof plastic bag, along with a list of your health care providers and emergency contacts, you will be prepared should you need medical attention.
