What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

Some would say that my important item is just extra stuff and at one time that may have been the case when my health wasn’t being monitored as closely as it is but as technology has improved so have the devices I use to help me deal with my body and how I keep walking, talking and doing stuff.

Yes. My cell phone is now my one thing that I have with me wherever I go and it’s tied to a sensor I wear to monitor my glucose levels. It’s useful to know how I’m doing moment to moment and has prevented several things that otherwise I’d be laid up in the hospital once more. It’s incredibly useful to know that I’m running high or low so that I can make adjustments to what I’m doing and if I need medication or food.

It would be easy to say but you use it for everything else too from writing this or calling people or ordering food or getting routes or maps or anything else that you could think of and you would be right, its all those things as well for me as tech increases every day we get new things that we can use tech to enrich our lives. I’m just thankful that my cellphone can do all of that for me and even allows me to get stuff from stores because of how much tech is integrated into day to day.

What’s your one thing that you always have with you?
