Medium Diabetes Kit Case
Diabetes kit bag to carry your blood glucose testing kit with you wherever you go. Designed in the UK by Fiona who has a daughter with Type 1 Diabetes who helps out by testing out the kit case each day. We partner with an ethical producer in Nepal to create the diabetic kit cases which are suitable for holding test strips, insulin pens, blood glucose meters (for example Accucheck and Contour Next) and also the readers for Freestyle Libre, Omnipod Dash and Dexcom. There are pockets to hold spares such as lancets, glucose tablets and Diawipes. Suitable for daily use to bring some colour and fun to the everyday nature of diabetes, our cases are made using hard wearing canvas and locally sourced Nepali patterned fabric.
Each kit bag comes with an Info Card for you to customise with your name and contact details in case of misplacement or emergency.

*We have designed this case to be used to hold diabetes testing kit, but if you would like to use it for another long term medical condition such as epilepsy then you are welcome to do so! We would love to hear from you about how you are using this case to store what matters to you! Please do tag us in your posts featuring your Threads of Life case here. We look forward to sharing in your adventures!

Whether it’s your medical kit or your laptop, carry your valuables in style with Threads of Life’s ethically made cases.
Traditional Nepali fabrics are matched with canvas for cool, colourful and durable designs. But these are much more than just handy accessories – they’re about opening up opportunities to marginalised communities in Nepal.
All Threads of Life diabetes kits and laptop cases are made in Kathmandu, by an ethical manufacturer creating dignified and sustained employment for people on the margins of society.
The benefits for these Nepali makers and their families go beyond steady work and a good wage. Every employee is eligible to receive school scholarships for their children. So, with each Threads of Life purchase, you help fund education for the next generation – a vital step in ending the cycle of poverty.
The Threads of Life team sticks to their commitment to sustainability beyond each sale too, with a two-year repair warranty on all products. If your case needs patching up, send it their way for some TLC.
