With an upcoming winter storm in the forecast, it’s important to make sure you have the supplies you need to manage your diabetes safely in case of power outages or travel disruptions.

Before the storm arrives, consider checking that you have:

🔹Backup insulin syringes in case insulin pumps cannot be used
🔹Both basal insulin and bolus insulin on hand
🔹Extra test strips and reliable ways to check blood sugar
🔹Additional batteries if your insulin pump requires them
🔹Quick sources of carbs for low blood sugar (juice, glucose tablets, milk, regular soda, or a few pieces of candy)

Staying prepared helps ensure you can manage your health safely during severe weather. Please stay warm, stay safe, and monitor local updates as the storm approaches.
