Tip for storing supplies

[Squeakycats]

I was tidying up my kitchen this evening and thought "I'm so glad I found a way to keep Misha's diabetes supplies from ending up all over the place"--and then I thought "Maybe I should share what I'm doing in case it's helpful to anybody else." So here's a picture of how I keep Misha's stuff organized. I just got a cheap plastic lunch container and put the lancets in one compartment, the rice bag in another (don't worry, it's not dirty--it's just made from an old t-shirt), and the meter, strips, some cotton pads, and some neosporin with pain relief in the big one. It's nice to be able to put the lid on it and keep hair, etc. out of everything, and if I'm having a PJ party or something, it's easy to take the kit along to whatever room that's happening in. We're doing an OTJ trial right now, but I was also able to fit a few needles in when I was still doing injections. Does anybody else have a system for avoiding supply chaos?

That's a great idea!!...especially if you take your sugarcat on trips!!

I'll have to remember that if DM gets to go to Branson at Christmas this year

Another tip. If you use vials of insulin, store it in an empty pill bottle. Wrap cotton or a napkin around the vial to keep it snug in the bottle. This can protect the vial if it is dropped.

I use this for testing

The screw-top container with chained-top is filled with vaseline. Otherwise one of my cats would lick all of it
