I was wondering if anybody uses, or can suggest an alternative carry case for their Insight Handset?
I think it is very chunky, and I hope to find something a bit smaller. I won't be using the fast clix finger pricker which is housed in it either.

Thanks in anticipation!

Not being able to eat as many chocolate digestives as I used to.

For day-to-day use, I carry diabetes kit around in a cheap pencil case purchased from WH Smith.

OOOOOO @Sandymcat I like this! I think under the circumstances I need to treat myself! I assume your test strips fit in you beautiful pouch with your handset! Where did you get the blue protective 'skin' from? That looks like good protection! Thank you! :):cat: Hey, when I talk about finger prickers I mean jabbing myself with a lance:joyful:t! I believe I replied to an older post from you last night regarding pouches, I assume you're all sorted now though xx

There are so many pretty zip bags out there. Cath Kidston, Sophie Allport... this one is a Nicky James. A friend bought it for my birthday. The rubber cover was given to me by the Roche lady who was at all the pump appointments, in other colours too. Maybe you could get one from Roche?
Sorry, this site is a little tricky to navigate, hence missing replies! I shall find your previous reply.
I hope you are doing well?

I am a crazy cat lady, my little boy is a pale ginger moggy, I adopted him from a recue centre when he was a kitten. Sorry, I am off topic now, but I assume your alternative carry case is cat related @terriellwood :)
