Be Ready to Infuse Anywhere and Anytime with this compact, safe and organized SCIG Infusion Travel Kit
This summer I took my son to a baseball tournament in Nashville (Love that place!). We were away for a week, and of course I still needed to do my weekly SCIG infusion. Now, I have a lot of bags I’ve collected over the years, however none were really right for my infusion supplies. So, I went to work creating what I think is a versatile SCIG Infusion Travel Kit whether you just need to carry enough supplies to infuse during a daily outing or if you are taking a week-long getaway. I’ve gotta say I just love the way it turned out! I hope you do too!
Be sure you watch the YouTube video on putting together your SCIG Travel Infusion Kit (and subscribe to my YouTube channel so you never miss a new video!). I’ve listed all the links to the supplies (there are non-zebra options too) I used in my SCIG Infusion Travel Kit below. Once you get yours made, post a pic, show it off and be sure to share any ideas you have to improve our kits!
