I think I have everything I need. We are going camping for the long weekend leaving early in the morning. Samantha is on the pump but I am still thinking the "what if's" so tell me how this list is and if I left anything off..
2 bottles of test strips
3 infustion sets
3 Reservoirs
ketone strips
wipes
i.v prep
i.v 3000
numbing cream
band-aids
lovolog
and just in case lantus and needles
I think I have everything but the kitchen sink, but then again we have one of those in the trailer:D
I have lots of juices and snacks I figure she will be very busy all weekend so we might be battleing lows

Sounds good to me. Michigan is supposed to warm up a bit this weekend (keeping my fingers crossed...it's cold today!!!)
Have fun!

HA HA!! I"m packing swim suits and long underwear for our camping trip here in NH, too!!!
Since you have a camper, soap and water are readily available, but we always take lots of alcohol-free baby wipes for handwashing.
You got the glucagon, right?:D
Does your camper have an alarm clock? Something to set for night checks, if needed?

We go camping alot too! What I do is make my list on the computer and reprint it every week when we are packing so we don't forget anything. I take it with me so I can add items that I might of forgotten so they don't get forgotten the next week. Just a little pointer to make camping less stressful especially with all the d stuff! Have a great time!!!!!!!!:D

What about Calorie King and food measuring tools- scale or measuring cups?
It is way to cold to go camping this weekend - I thought about it - but we tent and the girls voted for the mall with friends instead:rolleyes:

Camping in NJ w/ bathing suits and coats as well :)
Thanks for posting - I almost forgot the infusion set covers for swimming.
Also, last year we went - funny story - and ended up using our skin tac wipe to hold a butterfly stitch to Aidan's head/hair line. He ran into the open tail gate of our truck and gashed his head. Probably could have used a stitch, but fortunately my SIL is a nurse and we had first aid. So moral of the story is, D or no D, take first aid supplies :)
Have fun - I know our weather is supposed to be great!
