So I'm always looking for cute and cool gear for my supplies and so on. Could you guys post you favorite stores/websites to buy diabetes related stuff? Including medical alerts!
Thanks :)
Pumpwear. But they don’t have a lot of adult stuff. I’m hoping as her Daughter gets older, th selection will change.-- It has in the past 5 years since I first found them.
Was my favorite thing to lug syringes and vials around in. It was great to whip out a syringe in a bar, shoot up and keep drinkin' with a stylish bag!
Holy Donut Hole Batman! That is a Louis Vuitton diabetes man-bag. Where did you get that. I have to have one.
I believe my wife acquired it in Korea and, before we were married, suggested it would be better than loose bottles and works in my pocket! It might be a knock-off, since the stitching is singular but is fun either way!!
I'm a big supporter of thirty-one bags. They have a great cross body bag that fits all my supplies, and also small zipper pouches that fits my wallet, a few snacks, and my insulin pens for days when I don't want to lug around a big bag. They also have thermal bags as well if you are looking for something cute to keep stuff cool in. Warning...their stuff is addicting. I've turned into a bag lady!

survialstraps.com. Always 1 on my wrist.
www.dazzlingpumppouches.com for fun & stylish pump pouches.
I love the tummietotes, very comfortable.
www.talleygear.com
And for handbags, cases, wallets, etc. MYABETIC is imagined by a diabetic herself so there is lots of room for all you need for your diabetes and then also for credit cards, phone, money -some even have a special pocket for a Frio pouch.
www.myabetic.com Very well made!
Thanks everyone!
they make some cool little all in one bags for pretty much all D supplies
I second Tummietotes.
Also, I love Kipling because their stuff is colorful, durable, washable, and basically lasts forever. I have the large creative pouch, which I use as a meter case because the one that came with my meter was simply awful. It's big enough to hold my meter, two vials of strips, lancing device, control solution, alcohol wipes, etc. There's still plenty of room left over for a vial and syringes or an insulin pen and needle tips if so desired.
The best part is, the bag looks pretty small from the outside, but unless it's really stuffed beyond capacity, it stays looking that way even though it's quite roomy. I just slip it into whatever bag I'm lugging around that day.
Have you ordered from this site? If so were you from australia? If you aren't did you end up paying any duty on the items coming from another country or did you just need to pay for shipping and handling?
I am only a couple years into this and just started pumping, but I got most of my supplies based on suggestions I read on here.
I use the Globvetrotter carry bag from MEC as a purse and supplies carrier. I love it!
My lovely medical bracelets from Lauren's Hope.
A Frio bag, to keep things cool when I'm camping and sometimes hiking.
Spibelt for my pump. LOVE, love, love this product.
Workout tanks with built in sports bra. Comfy for just slipping pump in the front.
And on my wishlist is a Pistil brown leather pocket belt.
love it!!
Medic alert bracelets/necklaces are my fav, you have to join to get one, medicalert.org
I use frios all the time now, my ibg star case is very small & I have double frio for my pens. I have a very lightweight backpack I got at wild by nature. I keep extra test strips, pen needles, candy/glucose tabs etc. in a small pocket in that, as well as a bunch of other stuff non D. I still also have to carry my baggalini purse. I need to figure out a way to only have one bag at some point, but so far this works pretty well for me.
i am in Australia so didn't pay anything except shipping for the things i got from them.
