While most glucometers come with their own black vinyl zipper cases, you don\u2019t have to be stuck with factory-issued fashion. Both men and women with diabetes have options than you may think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Go custom. <\/strong>In response to the black vinyl crisis, several small companies have begun making carriers that offer some more sophisticated options. <a href=\"http:\/\/myabetic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Myabetic<\/a> offers colorful cases that can easily pass for regular-people wallets and purses, while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diabete-ezy.com\/Multi-fit-Case-scp55602.html\" target=\"_blank\">Diabete-ezy<\/a> sells containers that could likely hold an entire endocrinologist\u2019s office, and \u2013 as a result \u2013 are a little more utilitarian in appearance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Go cosmetic. <\/strong>Your local drugstore, department store or supermarket likely has an aisle full of cosmetic cases in dozens of different sizes and styles. Use a larger one when you want to carry everything from alcohol swabs to glucagon kits; smaller cases work when all you need is a testing kit and some glucose tabs. If you\u2019re the kind of PWD who likes everything in its place, look for a cosmetics case with separate compartments \u2013 then put your lancing device where the lipstick\u2019s supposed to go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Repurpose. <\/strong>In a pinch, random household vessels can be reinvented as diabetes supply holders. Coin purses, pencil cases and jewelry bags can usually do the job. An empty sunglasses case can easily hold a small glucometer and a few other bare necessities. Even a clean sock can help keep it all together if you\u2019re desperate enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Use what you like. <\/strong>Try searching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/?ref=lgo\" target=\"_blank\">Etsy<\/a> for pouches, purses, wristlets and carriers \u2013 there\u2019s no shortage of sophisticated vessels that zip, snap, fold and button. Keep an eye out at vintage stores for old cigarette cases, or buy a smaller, more affordable version of a fancy handbag.
