That's a good philosophy to have for life in general methinks. I carry a bunch of stuff in my backpack when I go out including my glucometer, glucose tabs and a snack. I don't usually anticipate having a low blood sugar but like you said it's far better to have it and not need it than to be in need and not have it with me.
