Micro-fridge, inverter and a car battery should get you a few days of storage. As far as getting insurance companies to pop for emergency supplies…oops I lost my bag on the way home from the drugstore and it had all my prescriptions in it. Not encouraging anyone to do anything illegal just saying its your :censored: in a disaster situation.
Other option is ask your doc for samples, just did that today for my mom and the doc hooked us up with nearly a months supply of several of her meds.

I should remember to refill a bit early until I have some more backup… in Canada the maximum prescription is for 100 days, but they don’t seem too worried about waiting 100 days again to refill it. Maybe I should just tell my pharmacist that I now eat a large pizza every night for supper, and I need 100 units of each Insulin per day until I run out of frozen pizza! That means I could get 10,000 units of each on my next refill!

LOL @ Tactical Insulin Carry methods… :laugh:I would love to read the article when it comes out. My nephew was recently diagnosed with type 1. He has also recently joined my scout troop and is getting really excited about camping and the outdoors.

My wife is Type 1. Been since she was 17. I have spares for both her insulins in the fridge. There is usually 2 or 3 spare bottles of Lantus. Her Novolog comes in a pen and there are 5 in the box. Each pen lasts about a week to a week and a half. We try to keep some carbs/sugar in the car and on our person when we go anywhere so in case of an insulin reaction, we can get her sugar back up. Don’t worry too much about highs as she keeps it under very tight control. I worry more about lows in the middle of the night than anything.
yeah, i’ve found myself standing in the door of the refrigerator just shovelling food in my mouth in the middle of the night…..not a fun scenario.
My major concenr is finding a way to educate folks on how to survive without access to insulin. while a few days, maybe a week or two is feaible if you have a stockpile of meds much beyond a month and the insulin is near-useless. There are plenty of survival food supplies out there, but most are designed to provide energy, which in most cases means carbs, which to us, means bad stuff.
I’m amazed at how difficult it is to find stuff that is well-suited both for diabetics and long-term storage.
Stay tuned!
