What do you have in with your test kit ?

One Libre reader. One pack of Dextro tabs. One insulin pen.

Anything more ruins the lines of the Chittleborough & Morgan suits.
 
I've never had a meter whose case was large enough to get an insulin pen, in ! (even if I'd taken all the testing kit out of it - not long enough)

I bought a little make up bag for £1.50 from primark. It's just big enough for all my stuff! Well worth it. Makes life so much easier it all being together especially when I'm out.

So true.
 
I only keep what is necessary in my meter kit pouch:-
Meter
Lancet device
Spare lancets
Test strips
And a few squares of tissues.

Well when I used pens, I had a discreet material case emblazoned with the NovoNordisk logo and name. Case just big enough to hold two pens, stiffened with a good zip round 3 sides. Didn't even have to look for either the meter or pen - just reached in my bag and immediately located whichever I needed.

Leather and press stud - purse. Brocade with raised pattern and clasp - make-up bag. Narrow hopsack case - pens. Fatter and shorter hopsack case - meter.

Wondering whether you are a weaver with such specific reference to hopsack weave in describing the case.
 
Nope - dressmaker mother (only for herself and us) and dad from a long line of gents tailors. Hence I automatically know me tulle from me tweed and me calico from me chintz etc!
