Insulin carriers and blood reader cases

[keishamarie]

Hi, I know that most people dont care really what their insulin and blood reader cases look like but Im so bored of mine, ive had diabetes nearly 9 years now and have the same one they gave me when i was diagnosed, everyone knows the one the blue Velcro one? And a boring black case for my reader, So im just wondering if anyone knows any websites/shops that do different ones..just to spice it up a little.

Thanks in advance..

They gave you a case?!! Lucky you, I got 2 pens and a meter in its original box.

Seriously, you can find stuff in the DCUK shop, e-bay, Amazon etc.

Hi. I use small pencil cases for my Insight hand set /test strips/finger pricker and wipes. They do them in lovely vibrant colours in Asda. I have used them for pens/big meter and strips in the past. Just an idea.

I use this - I had a black one when I was on MDI and it fitted everything in and wasn't too big - the design is quite clever I think, in that the biggest dimension is where the pens go, in the centre, and then it tapers to a smaller size at the other side.

When I went on a pump last year I treated myself to 2 new cases - one red, one blue - and again, they're just right for pump stuff. The red one has my pump handset/meter, my test strips, used test strip pot, glucose tablets, finger pricker and spare lancet thingy - ie the bits I need on me all the time. The blue one has a spare insulin cartridge, infusion set, cannula inserter and batteries. Both fit into my handbag, but if I'm just out and about locally or going for a walk or something I take just the red one in my coat pocket.

Sorted! They contain more than their actual size would suggest. No wasted space.

I

Although I don't use I just packed my meter, sore lancets, strips etc in an empty take out box. As you'll see from the pic I put in my pain killers, snacks etc. Keeps it all tidy in my handbag and is more convenient than the case the meter came in.
