I’m lucky now, because I’m on insulin pump therapy wich means I have a lot less to carry around/forget. My insulin is now attached to my body as opposed to being in some handbag or pouch that I can easily put down and never see again. Right now my best tool for not forgetting things is my wife. She asks me about the things I might forget before we leave any place which means I forget a lot less.

For me the scariest thing is those moments when I can’t remember if I took my insulin before eating or not. Things become so formulaic that it sometimes just doesn’t even register that I might have skipped a step in the process. What this means is that I might eat something and not take insulin (dangerous because my blood sugar will skyrocket without anything to regulate it), or I might eat something and take my insulin twice (dangerous because my blood sugar will plummet and I won’t have a parachute to save me).
