Posted on September 14, 2023February 24, 2024 By Avery Thomas

Prescriptions

OmniPods

These need to be changed every 3 days.

Dexcom Sensors

These need to be changed every 10 days.

Dexcom Transmitters

This needs to be changed every 3 months.

Test Strips

These are used for the warm-up period of the sensors.

Syringes

This is just for emergency injections in case the Omnipods malfunction.

Over-the-Counter Diabetic Supplies

Alcohol Swabs

This is to prepare a clean injection site for the OmniPods, Sensors, and Transmitters, and possible injections.

Glucose Tabs

These are the fastest acting option for low blood sugar.

Back-Up Loop Supplies

AAA Batteries

These are to supply power to the OrangeLink and back-up Omnipod PDM.

OrangeLink Pro

This is to still be able to use Loop with the radio Omnipods if the Bluetooth Omnipods fail.

OmniPod PDM

This is in case Loop fails to be able to set up and communicate with the radio Omnipods.

Back-Up iPhone

This is in case the main phone that is running Loop is damaged.

One Last Thing

Infection treatment

Because of my diabetes, infections get out of hand more quickly so I always have infection treatment on hand.
