I Need Travel Input. Going To Europe In Dec. How Many Pods, Dexcom, Etc Do You Take Depending On How Long You Are Gone?

This way, if my pump breaks, or I go through my CGMs, I can go back to MDI and meter until I get home. I find this saves room in my luggage as opposed to bringing double my pump and CGM supplies.
