The Diabetes Forum is the place to go for answers to all sorts of questions about managing diabetes. This week, Shortypro asks

"Ok, I have a dumb question-What do ya'll keep your pens and needles in to take w/you when your away from home? My Lantus pen came w/a case but my Humalog pen did not. I was just curious if there is one or if anyone had a nifty carrying case idea? I wouldn't worry about it except for the needles. Maybe like a makeup bag? I feel kinda silly for asking : )"

Chollalamb answers,

"I just have a small lunch type insulated bag with a blue ice jel pack in it."

She also recommends a few reputable websites that offer supplies. Read this and other answers to Shortypro's question in the Diabetes Forum this week.
