Desang Slim Kitbag - Leather

 

 

 

 

 

Desang kitbags have been designed by Sue Marshall, who has had Type 1 diabetes since 1972 when she was diagnosed aged five years. The kitbags keep everything in one place, making living with the condition just that little bit easier. And they are nice-looking too, designed to go into whatever bag you are already suing, be it a handbag, briefcase, rucksack or satchel.

Sue Marshall, founder of Desang Ltd, says, "Like many people, I had a busy life. Like some of them, I had diabetes too, which meant I had to be extra organised. I didn't let having diabetes stand in my way, but as I had to carry around various bits and bobs to control it, I wanted something practical but professional to house it all in. I played around with ideas and researched the size of the market and thought, 'I can't be the only one who could do with this kind of specialised carry case'. It was hardly an overnight insight -- more a gradual realisation that there had to be a role in many diabetic's lives for a kitbag such as the one I ended up designing. Judging by the feedback I've had, I was right."

Some people are buying a kitbag to organise themselves. Others, to organise a partner or a child and some are buying both models. Many find them very useful for holidays or business travel. Having a professional looking bag not only makes going through customs less of a hassle, but it also fits in with a working lifestyle.

The SLIM model is ideal for those who only use one insulin during the day.
