One of the things you need to keep checking on a regular basis if you have diabetes is your blood pressure therefore you need to have a blood pressure monitor. This will come in handy when you need to check any elevations or drops in your blood pressure.


Insulin kits are also important diabetic test supplies especially if you have type 1 diabetes. The kit can either be packaged in a glass container or a cartridge that is pre-filled. The kit also comes with some protective wipes, syringes and lancets you can use when self-administering the insulin. If you are afraid of needles, you can use an insulin pump instead. They are usually small in size and are portable. Another way to get the insulin that you need can be through the use of insulin pens which unlike the syringes and pumps are easier to use and carry around.

The most important thing to consider when getting the supplies is whether they are convenient for your type of diabetes and whether your medical insurance will cover them.
