Diabetic Supply Cases
Diabetes can be managed effectively when the partnership between the patients and health care
professionals is focused on good health and good eating practices. Another key factor is keeping diabetic
supplies organized and in a safe and convenient place. There is a wide selection of organizers available on the
market that can aid in simplifying the life of a person living with diabetes. These diabetic supply
cases are specially designed to store and protect diabetic supplies. Drugstores, pharmacies and medical
supply shops carry these organizers, so they are easy to find. Another place to shop for diabetic supply cases
is on the Internet. A quick search yields a wide variety of sources if you or a loved one would prefer to order
a case online.
There are four common types of diabetic
supply cases: daily, wallet, travel, and pen and meter wallets. Supplies such as vials, syringes, test strips,
pumps and meters are not included in the cases.
Daily Organizer
Case
The compartments in the daily organizer
are designed to store small quantities of diabetic supplies. These cases come in various sizes and models, so it
will be easy to find one that suits your needs. Three days of supplies can be stored in the cases which may
include a cool compartment to store bottles of insulin. The room temperature compartment is used for syringes,
meter, test strips, and other supplies. These are moderately priced under $20.
Wallet
Organizer
This is a miniature version of the daily
organizer. Typically, the wallet organizer is used for one day supplies, and can easily fit into a purse or
briefcase.
Travel
Organizer
The travel organizer case is a jumbo
version of the daily organizer. These can hold up to two weeks of supplies. Some come with a detachable medical
waste pouch, where you can safely store medical waste until it can be disposed of properly. High quality cases
usually retail for under $30.
Pen &
Meter
For people who use an insulin pen delivery
system, this is a good choice for a diabetic case. The pen & meter has pockets to hold insulin vials, meters
and other supplies. Like the wallet version, this is small enough to fit into a purse or briefcase, and also has
built-in elastic straps to hold your insulin pen.
Regardless to you or your loved one’s
need, there are diabetic supply cases available to keep things easily
accessible.
