I'm planning a 2011 thru hike. I'm insulin dependent D2, 3 - 5 shots per day. I'm trying to cut down on pack weight. So I'm wondering why I can't use hand sanitizer to clean the injection sites rather then packing in and out, the alcohol swabs and packaging. The sanitizers seem to be mostly alcohol any way. Any comments?
The professionals I've asked can't get past the whole wilderness / restricted access to medical care blather.
