❤️ Over 30 years with diabetes: my wish list for the ideal bag
Dear Diabuddies,
I have now had type 1 diabetes for over 30 years. Over all those years of everyday life with diabetes, I have collected many ideas for the ideal diabetes bag. This wish list resulted in the Zuckerschmuck® 3-in-1 Diabetes Raumwunder bag, which is available in our shop.
Designed by a person with diabetes for people with diabetes, with room for daily diabetes supplies and personal items such as keys, phone and money.
🎒 Three ways to carry in one bag
In short: Choose according to the occasion: case/clutch for evenings, handbag with shoulder strap for when you're out and about, waist pouch for active everyday life.
Versatile use as a case/clutch, handbag with shoulder strap or waist pouch. You can find more models in our bags.
📦 What fits inside
In short: The bag holds a complete diabetes setup plus phone, keys and card without adding bulk.
The individual compartments in detail:
- 2 insulin pens
- 1 blood glucose meter (often also called a glucose meter)
- 1 test strip container
- 1 lancing device + replacement lancets
- 1 reader, for example for FreeStyle Libre 1 or 2, Dexcom, or Omnipod
- 1 removable “waste compartment” with hook-and-loop closure for used test strips, easy to clean
- dextrose
- 1 side compartment for the included cooling pack or alternatively a smartphone (max. 10 × 15 cm)
- 1 exterior zippered compartment for cash, keys, credit card, driver's license
🩸 Discreetly test without taking off the bag
In short: The test strip container and lancing device are secured upright in the bag. You can remove test strips and lance without opening or putting down the bag.
The test strip container stands upright in the inner compartment, so test strips can be removed without taking out the container. The lancing device is positioned so it also stays in the bag while lancing. Everything sits securely inside, nothing falls out or tips over.

How large exactly is the diabetes bag?
19 × 12 × 4,5 cm. This means it fits in many handbags or gym bags and can also be carried as a handbag itself. The included strap is black, made of leather, and adjustable in length.
What material is the diabetes bag made of?

Can I measure my blood sugar directly in the bag?
Yes. The test strip container and lancing device are integrated so that you can take out test strips and prick your finger without opening or putting down the bag. This keeps testing discreet in everyday life, whether in a café, at the office, or on the go.
Is the bag fairly produced?
The bag comes from a small workshop. According to the manufacturer, educational programs for the employees' kids are funded. If you need precise certification details, contact info@zuckerschmuck.com, then we will provide you with the latest information.
How do I care for natural leather?
Natural leather develops a characteristic patina over time. Care for it with a dry, soft cloth and occasionally with colorless leather grease or leather oil. Avoid direct rain or moisture; if it gets wet, let it air-dry and do not dry it on a radiator.
