Diabetic Handbag by Adorn Designs is Amazing
Melanie has been diabetic since she was 7 years old. Its not an easy road to be on. For years she took care of herself like a model diabetic, then in the late teen years and on, she was just plain sick and tired of being diabetic. Tired of having a disease.
Tomorrow she has to go to the ophthalmologist to have her eyes looked at. It seems she is facing the results of some high blood sugars. A right in your face reality check for her. She is not invincible after all.
We were talking today about ways to make it easier for her to take good care of herself. Not missing shots etc. She has to have 4 shots a day, and supposed to check her blood about 5 times a day. Not a nice thing to be poked that many times every single day.
We looked on line for something less medical looking for her to carry her supplies in. At 23 you sure don't want to be carrying around some geriatric looking bag for your medical needs.
We found the most amazing handbag. Its a bit expensive but worth it in my mind. To be able to carry all your diabetic needs and not look like you have something "wrong" with you.
Made by a diabetic for diabetic ladies. Its perfect.
The link to order them is http://www.adorndesigns.com/index.asp If you are diabetic take a look at these handbags. We put in an order right away. I am excited about this purse. I am hoping it will make life easier for Melanie. Make it less of a deal to carry her medical needs around. There is a place for an ice pack in this purse so you can carry your insulin all day long. Of course I am not getting anything for sharing this information. I just think its great and wish someone would have shared it with us.
Melanie decided to update her testing kit a few months ago. She is a real Hello Kitty fan which is reflected in the testing kit look.
Sometimes we who are healthy forget about difficult it can be to deal with the day to day aspects of having a disease for which there is no cure.
I am praying tomorrow will be just a warning, a wake up call and that Melanie is not loosing any vision. Maybe you can say a little prayer for her too. So much going on right now for her, with the wedding in August, a new job opportunity coming up. She doesn't need one more thing to deal with.
