Accu-chek instant pouch/carry case or whatever you want to call it

[Meady]

I've just changed over to the accu-chek instant glucose monitor (really happy with it) and well, the carry case pouch thingy leaves a little to be desired.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement please.

Thanks.🙂

Camera cases might also be worth looking at. (Compact cameras are fairly small. The cases may well be too expensive nowadays given that cameras that aren't smartphones aren't much of a thing.)

Do you need a case?
I do not bother as it just takes up more space. And, as you can see from the Accu-check case, the meter does not need protection.

Looks like there are plenty of cheap ones on eBay. (New by the looks of it so I guess people are still making them.)

The issue I’m familiar with for many years regarding the supplied case for these meters. (Used Accu-chek.) is the elasticated straps for the meter, lancet device & stip pots? It’s a fiddle whilst on the “fly.” (I just wanna test & go.)
What are your personal preferences whilst on the move? Do you have a favourite jacket with pockets? Maybe a preference for “cargo pocket trousers?” Or just a bag. These are all considerations I make when carrying what I need low profile.
The pot of strips for me has always been the “space invader.” Maybe a smaller bespoke tube for the strips you need just for a day out?

I carry around a "diabetes kit" which consists of a 1.1L plastic food container, containing (in random order!):

• glucose gel tubes and Love Hearts roll, for hypos
• blood glucose meter
• bumetanide tablets strip (diuretic)
• FastClix finger-pricker with spare drum of 6 lancets
• pot of unused test strips and pot of used test strips
• gel pen, to write in...
• blood glucose diary
• Novopen 6 containing fast-acting NovoRapid
• pen needles in small plastic bag

You probably won't have all those...
