❤️ 31 Years of Diabetes: My Wish List for the Ideal Bag
Dear Diabuddies,
I've had Type 1 diabetes for 31 years now. From these 31 years of living with diabetes, I've gathered many wishes for an ideal diabetes bag. This wish list led to the creation of the Zuckerschmuck® 3-in-1 Diabetes Space-Wonder Bag, which is now available at www.zuckerschmuck.com.
Designed by a diabetic for diabetics, with space for daily diabetes essentials and personal items like keys, phone, and money.
🎒 Three Carrying Styles in One Bag
In short: You choose depending on the occasion: case/clutch for evenings, handbag with strap for on-the-go, belt bag for an active lifestyle.
Versatile as a case/clutch, handbag with strap, or belt bag.
📦 This Is How Much Fits Inside
In short: The bag holds a complete diabetes setup plus smartphone, keys, and cards, without being bulky.
The individual compartments in detail:
- 2 insulin pens
- 1 blood glucose meter
- 1 test strip container
- 1 lancing device + spare lancets
- 1 reader or smartphone (max. 10 × 15 cm), compatible with FreeStyle Libre 1/2/3 (smartphone app), Dexcom G6/G7, Omnipod Dash/5 PDM
- 1 removable "waste compartment" with hook-and-loop fastener for used test strips, easy to clean
- Dextrose tablets
- 1 side pocket for the included cool pack or alternatively a smartphone
- 1 external zippered pocket for money, keys, credit card, driver's license
🩸 Discreet Measurement Without Taking Off the Bag
In short: The test strip container and lancing device are fixed "standing" in the bag. You can remove test strips and prick without opening or removing the bag.
The test strip container stands upright in the inner compartment, allowing test strips to be removed without taking out the container. The lancing device is positioned so that it also remains in the bag for pricking. Everything sits securely inside; nothing falls out or tips over.
🌿 Material and Responsibility
In short: Natural cowhide nappa leather, regularly tested oils and waxes, small manufacturer with educational commitment.
The Space-Wonder Bag is traditionally handcrafted. Natural, soft premium cowhide nappa leather is used. The oils and waxes used for leather processing are regularly tested for harmful substances, according to the manufacturer.
