>>1018805I replenished my supply twice. I carried the syringes, test strips and lancets for the whole trip. I only had a few days in which hypoglycemia really became relevant, and two were from misjudging how sensitive I would be to insulin overnight and waking up barely able to retrieve my food from its bear-safe position hanging from a tree.

Two things which really help me out with the diabetes are the Frio Insulin Cooling Case, which uses evaporative cooling to keep insulin 'cool' (not very cool, but not hot), and a continuous glucose monitor. The first few trips I did before having the CGM and I would get paranoid about letting my sugar fall too low so I ended up with super high levels almost every night. With the CGM and a little practice, I can keep it stable indefinitely. The first couple hours during which I still have the rapid insulin from breakfast working can be a little sketchy, but once I get onto the slow stuff, things are pretty easy. I just need to eat more when I do hills or go upwind or similar and less when the riding is easy.
