cute using a small cosmetic bag.
Thank you Ellaine for sharing how you converted a cute cosmetic bag into a diabetic meter bag. We know how ugly a regular meter bag looks like, here is a way to make a more eye appealing meter bag.
1. Begin by removing the thread stitch around the plastic that holds the meter.
2. Remove stitch from the test strip holder and the pen.
3. Make sure the cosmetic bag you choose has ample space for all your items. If needed, remove or cut any pockets that aren't needed.
4. With a pencil, take the plastic meter holder and trace it onto the chosen spot in the cosmetic bag.
5. Then on the inside of the traced line, about 1/2in in, draw the same line and cut it out.
6. You now can insert the holder to see if it fits and apply adhesive to hold it (dbl sided tape, super glue, or crazy glue. Hot glue gun didn't work too well).
7. Now pick an area for the strip holder, mark both ends with your pencil and start sewing one end then the other, same goes for the pen holder.
*All done! Just takes a little time, but it helped me keep my mind busy while I was nervous
about medications and insulin!
