I use an Accu-chec Aviva Expert BG Meter. I want to buy a kit bag to hold this, strips, multiclix fingerpricker, Novopen, needles etc. Any recommendations? None of those I've found online mention my meter.

I pretty much use one of those string bags to keep everything in...



...and I store my clean needles in a pencil case, though it comes with side compartments for most used items, so I can dispose of used needles in a sharps bin when I get home. Smile My latest pencil case was a gift in fact which is a bonus. ;)

My other stuff just uses what they came with and are all put together in the string bag that I then take with me in a regular backpack for easier removal when the need rises to test.

Another funny thing: I got most of these things in a bundle deal Argos had where it was a backpack that came with a string bag and a wallet. Handy and inspiring! Can't find it now on the site though. :/

I have a DIA-PAK Classic that holds my diary, insulin pens, needles, strips, finger pricker and spare lancets. It also comes with an ice pack that you can use if going away or on long journey to keep your insulin cool, Its handy as everything I need is kept in one place.

Eventually settled for a "make up" bag from bags etc (shops + also website) has removable brush holders &/or mesh bags + various pockets inside. Holds novopen, Meter, finger pricker, strips, hypo-treatments, mobile, tissues and still room left. Usual price £15 - got mine half price! Several colours available - ideal & cheap!

Hope this works - this is the blue version currently on website for £7.50 - I also bought the red & Black as they were so cheap. Interiors are detachable so can mix & match. Also nice enough to carry as a mini handbag.

Love it!
