Sugar packets! Good idea! (FWIW I don't drink coffee. Don't like the taste, never have. I like a spot of tea from time to time, but never coffee, ew.)

I don't remember where I found it, but I read a blog post a week or two ago by a T1 woman with an insulin pump. Someone at a gas station asked her about her tubing, and she went into her standard spiel.
