| | | Supplies Handbag/purse I'm wondering if anybody here has one of these handbags. If so, how do you like it and also is there any place online to order them for cheaper or find a promo code?
If you have something else, could you point me to it and tell me what you like about it?
Thanks,

| | | I've never seen those before...but I'm interested! I've got an organizer from Medport that has a cool side with a cool pack for insulin, and the other side holds meter, strips....etc. Of course, along with everything else I carry, I now have a purse that feels like a suitcase. I'd love to down size!
I got the medport from amazon.com....they offer quite a few different choices. |

| | I have that same Medport that you do. I'm just tired of carrying it and my purse with me. Since both are about the same size, I was hoping to find something that was all-in-one. That's when I found the above link. It looks just the size I'd like, since I'm not carrying around cloth diapers and wipes anymore, I don't need a HUGE purse... Better for my shoulders and neck that way too!
If I do end up getting one, I'll let you know how I like/don't like it. I'd just really like to find a coupon/promo code somewhere! I'm all for buying things at a discount.

| | | If you get it, I'd love to hear what you think....I'm not carrying the wipes and diapers anymore, either...and I'd love to lighten my load! |

| | I've never been a purse person, so being dx'd and told that I was going to have carry "stuff" didn't work for me. I ended up getting a small leather backpack.(It's actually sold as a purse)It has 3 seperate compartments, so I don't have my insulin supplies with my wallet. It holds my test kit and humalog pen/needles. My wallet, keys, sunglasses are in different compartments. It's small enough so you can't weight it down with extra stuff. It definately isn't big enough for diapers and wipes.  It's worked very well for me

| | | My meter came with a case of its own. It has an outside pouch where I put my vial of symlin and a syringe. It just goes in the purse I carry but many times I don't carry anything with me since I am never too far from supplies. If I go on a long trip I just toss everything in the console dept of my car.....haven't had a problem yet. I keep meter and supplies at work in my desk so that way I don't have to transport them daily.
