Hey, several things here.

Did the 5 hour energy drinks you got have caffeine? If so, yes try one in the morning instead of coffee. Just an experiment to see if the caffeine is the issue, or something in the coffee is spiking you other than caffeine.

How are you carrying your stuff? Get a SpiBelt or FlipBelt or Amphipod. Or one of each.

There are a lot of easy ways to get geared up:

Since you are on zero basal when running, why not unplug your pump and leave it at home and just bring a 1/2 unit pen with you? That’s smaller.

This is all you need for D. This will all fit in a SpiBelt:

- gtabs or some form of running gel gu
- 1/2 unit pen
- about 10 strips that you put in a [Listerine breath mints holder](https://forum.fudiabetes.org/t/easy-strip-holder-idea/543) that you cleaned out
- a Contour Next One meter, which is very small
- a lancet

I can send you a strip holder. I have to make some for a few people
