Looking for a slim case for insulin pens and needles

Hi all,

Looking for a slim case to carry one/two pens and a few needles (basically something that you can comfortably fit into a suit pocket). I'm using a FreeStyle Libre so no need to carry a meter and associated strips etc.

Struggling to find something suitable, as most carry cases seem to cater for carrying around a lot of accessories. On a normal day I only need to take my NovoRapid pen and a few needles so would love something slimmer / smaller. Tried a Desang Pen Pack but found this to be too large.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Hi @District_Line_Diabetic . Welcome to the forum.
Instead of looking for a specialist/ insulin case have you considered a visit to a stationary outlet store.
I think some people on the forum use ordinary pencil cases and the like.

I got a nice smart pencil case from paperchase. It can hold 2 pens and a handful of needles no problem.

Hi @District_Line_Diabetic ,

I was thinking along the lines of a "bespoke" case like the sort sold at a camping outlet or "army surplus" store?
I picked up something that Velcro's & poppers to my belt relatively "low key" at a gun shop in Hamberg many years ago..!

why can't everyone get on........
I recently got a spare novopen 5 pen from my DSN --
-- it came with a case that holds 2 pens and about 5 needles
it was free and I am sure if you ask your DSN she can source a case of similar proportions.

I know the one... ;)
The ClikStar cases also hold two pens as well, along with a few spare needles..

I've recently been looking at this:

Looks a nice little case, going to order it Friday, can let you know what it's like :)
