What's in your kit bag?

I Have 3 Bags For Graham One In My Car One In Daddy Car And Another Bag That I Carry Every Where And In Case I Forget I Always Have The Already Made In The 2 Cars

I always carry my meter, spare needles, Novorapid, Levemir, spare test strips at the bottom of my bag incase I run out.. It has happened :/ Hypogel ( because I would only eat anything else!!)

Whenever I empty my handbag or meter case, about a zillion used test strips fall out lol

You all carry lots of things!

I have a very minimal setup. I have this pouch that came with a minidisk player years ago.

I load it up with my meter (Freestyle Mini), pack of strips, a handful of lancets (about 15) and the lancer. As I use the pieces up, I put the lancer head-on into the head, then put it back into the bag with the strip. There might be a better way of writing that, but you can see what I mean with the used one in the middle of this picture!

It's clear which ones have been used, and at the end of the day, or when I remember, I tip them all out on my desk, put the used ones in the sharps bin and refill with lancets.

Things I like about this: very lightweight and compact, doesn't use much space, no filling with zips or fasteners. Can store insulin needles in there if I need to.

Things I don't like: feels a bit dirty to have the used ones floating around in the bag. No room for insulin pens in there.

I usually put the bag wherever's convenient, which is a pocket if I'm wearing a coat, or in my bag, and the insulin pens go with it.

Here is mine! The make-up bag was a freebie when i purchased some make-up ages ago in boots! It fits all my testing kit in perfectly...and pretty too 🙂

The little part in the middle with the strips in detaches from the bag so its nice and easy to empty all the used strips into the bin in one go (note the ones trying to escape lol)
