BG monitor and insulin case

[BlaiseS]

Not really a serious topic, but I'm looking for a nice case to carry my BG monitor/test strips/ lancets/ lancing device and insulin pens/ needles.
I was given one by the hospital, but it's not big enough to carry my insulin pens and right now they sort of just float around in my bag when I take them out with me. Plus the case is green and looks out of place when everything else in my bag is black and/or pink. I'm newly diagnosed so don't want everything to be super obvious.
Where did everyone else get their cases from? I'd prefer to use a proper case with elastic that actually holds things in their place because I'm really clumsy and would just end up dropping everything, plus I like organisation.

There's loads of them on Amazon and Ebay all shapes sizes and colours just search insulin bags on either.

Ah that must be where I've been going wrong @JohnEGreen! I've been searching 'BG monitor case' and all that's ever come up with is monitors for sale.

I just use a little make up bag or pencil case - the specially designed cases tend to be too big & expensive! I have limited room in my handbag & the make up bag looks ok, fits all my diabetic stuff in & fits in my bag.

I also use a make-up bag. Keep my hypo stuff in it as well. Also typed instructions on what to do if I have a hypo and who to call for more info.

The only problem I have with make-up bags is that they have no organisation, everything's just in there and my mind doesn't cope well with that haha. Thank you everyone for your replies though.

I use a Tumi Alpha 2 Split Travel Case. It's on the more expensive side ($95usd), but it holds everything pretty well and separates things pretty easy.

Kipling bags and pouches are good as have sections. I use one for my diabetic stuff.

I bought a hardback pencil case from wh smiths. I keep everything in it. It is fab and cost £7.99

Have a look at the DCUK shop to see if there's something suitable:
