My rabbi told me that I should carry candy with me everywhere I go on Shabbos, out of concern for hypoglycemia, which is a life-threatening condition. Hypoglycemia (also called "low blood sugar," or just a "low") is a function of type 1 diabetes. A low can come almost without warning, even with the best control (trust me, I know).
If I'm going long-distance, I'll also carry a blood glucose meter and some other stuff I might need.

Where there is no eiruv, I carry whatever I need with a shinuycarry whatever I need with a shinuy; socks are useful, and should work for an Epipen also. As Avrohom Yitzchok already pointed outalready pointed out, arranging to have what you need wherever you go is a much better idea, provided you have enough medical devices to go around.
(I have, at times, placed up to four meters in different buildings around a city I visited on Shabbos that didn't have an eiruv)

It's certainlycertainly a good idea ask your own rabbi about your own particular situation, as to whether it will be necessary to carry stuff you need on Shabbos, and how that stuff should be carried.
