Follow along with me as I link my favorite supplies and quick tips to entering the new year on a positive note!
Hi everyone! I apologize for my blog hiatus around the holidays, but I am back with a few of my favorite organizing tools and quick tips for Type 1 Diabetics.
As we gear up for 2020, it is important to keep being organized at the top of your resolution lists. I am constantly looking for the best products and tips / tools to use to stay organized. Organization = less stress.
TIPS/ TOOLS
After I was diagnosed, I searched long and hard for a diabetic bag / pouch that could discretely hold all my supplies while I traveled. I found that a lot of medical bags all look the same, and frankly all look like medical bags- dark and structured bags I would be too embarrassed to take out in public. While searching on Instagram I came across Myabetic bags and fell in love with their cute styles and multiple color options. I ordered the Banting’s Diabetic Wallet in blush- which I have linked here. It is worth the price and holds up nicely.
Anyone else get lows in the middle of the night and have to search around for your low supplies? Well, search no longer with an organized way to put all your low snacks and long-acting carbs into one container. I honestly break into this container so much during my lows that I now keep one in my car, at work, and bedside table! Here is the container I use- low priced and on sale today!
Needles needles needles. I feel like I am always finding needles laying around my apartment, so I knew I needed to keep them organized in one place in my bedside drawer. This is the perfect size organizing container to keep needles in a desk / table drawer- I have linked them here. I also love The Container Store for buying loads of organizing tools!
Where do you put all of your used needles? Well look no further, I have linked my favorite “mini” trash can here. Also, it comes in a set of two- so perfect to keep one on your bedside, in the car, or at work!
I have had multiple questions about my mini-fridge, so I am linking it here. It comes in multiple colors- I have the navy but already want the orange! Perfect for a dorm room, to keep in your closet, or under your desk at work. Mine currently houses about 21 injection pens ( I stocked up on insulin while I was on vacation in the Turks and Caicos).
When I am traveling and need to keep my insulin cold, I always use my FRIO case. It is linked here! So simple to use and all you have to do is soak the pouch for a few minutes.
While being diabetic is a real prick, finding your supplies should not be an inconvenience. It is important to stay organized!
As always, reach out if you have any questions 🙂
