[Diabetes-talk] carrying/travel cases

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

Hey Brad!

Bern here.  Wal-Mart has a whole myriad of travel cases!  Sometimes you can 
even get lucky at a Goodwill or Salvation Army store.  That's one of the 
first places I hit when I need something like that.  Sometimes you can even 
find a book-bag-type thing or a small travel/cosmetic type bag.  Sometimes 
if I don't have pockets in the bag and I need to keep things separated for 
organization, the almighty ziplocks work quite well.  That's what I do.  I 
tend to like to wear my bags as opposed to carrying them.  If I gotta carry 
it and take up hands, forget it!  If I can wear it either on my back or 
over-the-shoulder, Glory Halleluiah!  My hands are free for canes and 
whatever else I might need right away.  If the case is small enough, 
sometimes I have room in my briefcase.  Never, never, pack meds in my 
luggage or anything that goes under the belly?  Over my dead body!!!Just a 
few thoughts.
