I am old school Diabetes, still using Vials as I find pens impossible to use. I store my insulin in this device (Attached) so I can grip it easy and give me a stable platform to draw up insulin, I have peripheral Neuropathy so holding small items is not possible. I dropped it and broke it. Does anyone have any idea where to get a replacement or something similar?

Thank all
 
Hi @Iain55 ,

I'm old school from the days of glass syringes. That is actually a natty bit of kit.

Is there a name or number embossed on it anywhere?
 
Sorry, never seen anything like it before - but with my engineer's hat on I'd be looking at repairing it.

Where is it broken ? Is it just the crack we can see in the top picture?
I take it that the outer case is some sort of plastic?
Superglue might work. But you could also try plastic weld solvent (available from model shops for about £4), some hard plastics do resist adhesive and other chemicals so repairs won't always be successful.
