Medical Shop expands catalogue with diabetes carry-cases

Desang Ltd sells kitbags for people with diabetes – estimated at over 2 million people in the UK today. The kitbags keep everything in one place, making living with the condition just that little bit easier. And it’s nice-looking too, made of leather, resembling a Filofax. These well-designed carry cases help people with diabetes to keep their diabetes equipment organised in one place both at home and abroad.

Just as Desang kitbags make life easier by enabling somebody with diabetes to keep all their diabetes kit together, Medical Shop, a mail order service for people with diabetes, makes life easier by putting a range of diabetes products in one place. The Medical Shop catalogue contains more than 50 products, ranging from Merino lanolin skin crème products from New Zealand to travel products such as small sharps bins and pill cutters and Unistik 3 single use safety lancets. All the products in the Medical Shop catalogue can be ordered online from www.medicalshop.co.uk or by telephone 0800 731 6959.

Sue Marshall, founder of Desang Ltd. says, "I was diagnosed with type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetes in 1972, when I was five years old. As I had to carry around various bits and bobs to help control my diabetes, I wanted something practical but professional to house it all in, and hence I designed two carry cases – or kitbags – and haven’t looked back. I have been aware of Medical Shop for several years, as they carry a good range of products for people with diabetes. I’m delighted that they are now including our kitbags.”

Linda Cole, Marketing Assistant, Medical Shop, says, “Many people with diabetes are looking for useful products to help them manage their diabetes on a daily basis. Having supplied people with diabetes with injection pens and lancets, we were looking to expand our product range. The Desang kit bags seemed ideal, as people have a smart discreet way of storing their injection pens, insulin and other diabetes kit. Desang kitbags have proved popular with many of our customers because they have been designed for people with diabetes, by someone with personal experience of the condition.”

MORE INFORMATION ON DESANG KITBAGS

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 company was set up in 2004 by Sue Marshall, who has had insulin dependent diabetes since 1972. She designed the product, sourced the manufacturer and the funding. Since the website was launched, the kitbags now sell worldwide in increasing quantities and word of mouth is spreading.

Desang kitbags come in two models. The Classic model contains everything required to monitor and administer type 1 diabetes, or type 2 diabetes treated by insulin. The Slim model is ideal for those who only use one insulin during the day.
