- a blood glucose meter, lancets, and testing strips
- your diabetes medicines
- a list of your prescription numbers
- if you take insulin-some insulin, syringes, and an insulated bag to keep insulin cool
- if you take insulin or if recommended by your doctor-a glucagon kit
- glucose tablets and other foods or drinks to treat low blood glucose
- antibiotic cream or ointment
- a copy of your medical information, including a list of your conditions, medicines, and recent lab test results
