Well assuming it's when you're going out for the day and the like? I'd stick the pen and a needle (maybe even attach the needle to safe space and time) in your pocket. I OFTEN do this and have it just in my back pocket of my jeans, it's only the size of a normal pen or mascara (although I assume you don't wear mascara <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">). As for the meter, remove it from its pouch and bring ur strips along with you.
