Stick Me Designs, an emerging accessory designer of diabetes glucose carrying cases for women, teens and children, announces the launch of their glucose meter bag collection.
The new diabetes bags offer style-savvy diabetics choices in color, fabrics and design, while providing functional bags for the busy diabetic lifestyle.
The first collection features four contemporary designs created for the One Touch Ultra glucose meter and other more traditional larger style testing meters.
The bags have elastic placeholders for lancet devices, testing strips, and glucose tabs or candy. They also feature interior open and zippered pockets for everyday essentials such as credit cards, identification, money, sanitizing wipes and an outside zipper pocket for other essentials.
Every bag is treated with a stain repellant to deter stains and maintain the fabric's integrity. Up until now doing a search for glucose meter bags resulted in grim choices of black nylon and navy blue at best.
Stick Me Designs' introductory collection features hand-selected faux suedes, designer upholsteries, and cotton fabrics in retro and contemporary styles and colors.
"While the medical supply industry is busy working on adding color, convenience and function to their meters they've forgotten the most important aspect of their portability the carrying case.
We've taken on the task of infusing design, style and function that adds personality to an everyday necessity for people with diabetes.
I personally wanted a bag that could reflect personality, attention to style and do a job all at once," said Rickina Velte, founder and designer of Stick Me Designs. Testing your blood sugar everyday is no fun ... but your meter bag should be.
