I can't find a review of Desang's Slim Kitbags so I thought I'd post one.
After reading and contributing to the How Do You Carry Yours thread I decided I'd try one of the Desang kitbags. I ordered one of the slim models as I'm type 2 and don't need insulin or it's attendant paraphernalia.
The Kitbag arrived in the post this morning.
I'll admit that my first thought was that my Accu-Chek Compact Plus GT wouldn't fit, but it does, sliding into the pouch with a nice snug fit with the softclix lancer fastened to its side. The kitbag is well made and it fits everything I want in there. There is space in the smaller pouch for two spare drums of test strips in their containers, two tubes of glucotabs, spare lancets, a pen/pencil and logbook. This allows the kitbag to potentially carry enough consumables for 51 blood tests. More than enough for a week away.
I've also tried this with my spare meter an Ascensia Contour, again everything fits in just fine with perhaps a little more free space.
The odd thing I've found is that it seems as if the slim kitbag is designed specifically with the Compact Plus GT in mind with the way everything fits so well.
As a quick top tip, for those people using the Compact Plus meter, I've found that the containers for the test strip drums make excellent small travelling sharps containers for the used Softclix lancets once you remove the desiccant and cardboard cover from inside the top. I've stuck a picture of the biohazard symbol and two labels saying "Sharps" on it. It fits in the kitbag in place of one of the spare drums.
