Insulin Carry Case...

    Hey everyone,

    I am looking around for a new carry case for my Apidra Solo Star pens. I want something light and durable that can fit both the pen and needles. For the last few years I have been using a velcro pouch that opens up and I have the pen on one side and the insulin on the other.

    Unfortunately after years of abuse from being thrown into boot bags at soccer and in handbags on nights out it is stained and the velcro is fraying!!! :( Would anyone have any recommendation on a close substitute?

    Been searching around the internet and can't find anything suitable...if anyone can advise it would be much appreciated! :D

    All the Best,

    Acapella

    You might have a look at small makeup bags - far trendier (and cheaper) than what a pharma company could come up with.

    or a pencil case?

    or ask a handy friend to sew up something?

    Aidan, do you produce (or have any input into production) of cases? Everything I've bought has been nearly perfect - but nothing fits my needs exactly. I'd love the chance to design something.

    Hi,

    We stock cases produced by a company called "Activeaide"
    They will hold two Anapens (Adreniline Injections ). They are thermally lined and neat. I am not sure if they will `suffice for Insulin injectors etc.

    We have looked at designing our own cases and containers for the Anatube or Epipen. Unfortunatley it has been too expensive. Everything from the tooling, production and not forgetting the Insurance because they hold medical devices forced us to abondon it and import pre made pouches.

    Sorry that the news could not be better

    Aidan

    Use a Frio pouch myself as well, although I only charge it up to make it actually cooling when I'm going away somewhere for a couple of days. Normal day to day use I don't bother and just let it run dry.
