I saw yesterday Bloden’s Libre sensor sat neatly in a Moleskine XS hard case zipped pouch. A perfect fit. Has anyone tried their next size up for their test kit. Will it fit an accucheck finger pricker? I tend to end up carrying a load of junk in with my kit but could adapt, especially as these are available in very bright colours.
 
If no one has used one I might just have to wait until I can get to one of their stores.
 
I’ve not seen those I’m afraid @SB2015 - do John Lewis or similar still have a stash of that sort of thing?

Have you seen anything possible/likely on Funky Pumpers?
 
Sounds interesting but couldn't see anything that small on their website ?
 
It looks like a trip to my local Moleskine store is called for. They are a lot cheaper than the ones on Funky.
I will report back.
 
The Libre fitting one was an XS hard case.
 
Hi there. 🙂

Re: moleskin cases - as well as the small case, I also bought the next size up and yes, Accu Chek finger prickers (the old longer version and the new shorter version) do fit. I’m pretty sure the case is also deep enough when closed to accommodate meter and pricker, but not a strips barrel. I’m away from home at the mo, so can’t check / provide measurements.

I went to the moleskin shop at Canary Wharf, btw. 🙂

Thanks Bloden
I shall call into one of their stores, armed with test kit and see what I can do. I think I would wanttest strips to fit in there still in their container, so perhaps I just have to continue to make my cases for the test kit.
 
The Libre test strips fit fine, obviously, cos they come in strips. Or you could put the strips in a matchbox, LOL. 🙄
 
I keep my libre in an optium neo case. A pretty good fit.
