Emergency kit
Keep an emergency kit with you at all times to make sure that you always have
necessary supplies. Tell a family member, co-worker, or friend where you keep your
emergency kit.
It is important that you test your blood glucose (BG) more frequently while you
travel. The routine hassle of travel, including stress, changes in time zones,
schedules and activity levels, meal times and types of food, can all affect your
diabetes control. Be extra attentive to monitoring your BG frequently, and be
prepared to respond if needed.
Your emergency kit should include these items:
• Fast-acting glucose tablets
• BG monitoring supplies
• Urine or blood ketone monitoring supplies
• Extra MiniMed infusion set and MiniMed reservoir
• Extra new AA lithium or alkaline batteries, or fully charged NiMH batteries
• Insulin syringe and rapid-acting insulin (with dosage instructions from your
healthcare professional)
• Wallet card (packaged with your pump accessories)
• Adhesive dressing
• Glucagon emergency kit
WARNING: Do not use the Bolus Wizard feature to calculate a bolus
for a period of time after giving a manual injection of insulin by
syringe or pen. Manual injections are not accounted for in the
active insulin amount. Therefore, the Bolus Wizard feature could
prompt you to deliver more insulin than needed. Too much insulin
can cause hypoglycemia. Consult with your healthcare professional
for how long you need to wait after a manual injection of insulin
before you can rely on the active insulin calculation of the Bolus
Wizard feature.
