Whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, and accurate reading of your blood glucose level (BGL) is vital. Washing your hands before testing seems like a simple solution to remove all impurities, such as fruit juice, food and dirt. However, in the rush of daily life, when you're in the car or at a picnic, this isn't always easy. Diabete-ezy Test-wipes are made from hospital grade, alcohol free ingredients and are designed to remove any impurities from the fingertip safely and effectively. Test-wipes also can be used to hygienically remove blood after testing.
Diabete-ezy Test-wipes starter packs come complete with and easy to use dispenser and 100 wipes. The dispenser is designed to fit easily into most testing cases and provides a convenient and simple way to ensure a reliable result, no matter where you are. A Refill Pack of 200 wipes are also available.
This fashionable Ezy-fit case can carry all of your daily diabetes needs in one case. The outer case is made of tough easy to clean Metallic Blue, Green, or Pink material. Inside features of the case include housing for record book, pen, card size personalised management plan, 2 x pen needles, Test-wipes dispenser, BGL meter, lancet device, test strips, needle tip refills, lancets and a compartment for rubbish and other equipment.
Steve and the boys could never find the right medi-alert identification that suited them and after speaking to many other people living with Diabetes I found out that they were also in the same situation. These Medi-alert Dog Tags are similar to military 'dog tags'. The diabetes medical alert tags are made from light-weight stainless steel which is great for those people who are active, yet they are suitiable for people of all ages.
Also available through Diabetes Australia agents and subagents.
I have designed this Dia-log-it record book for my 3 children who have diabetes. I found it very useful in keeping track of their day to day routine as so many things influence their bodies. From the type of food they eat, exercise they do to the time of meals and injections.
Dia-log-it allows you to record information about:
Time of testing
Level of BGL
Food that has been eaten
Insulin dose
Hypo and activities
When my first child was diagnosed having diabetes I found it very difficult to write down an action and emergency plan for when I left him with someone else. This is an information form which I use today for my three children. Two are in school and one attends day care 2 days a week. They have also been very useful for grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, babysitters and also for sporting activities where I leave them with their coach. I hope that this form relieves some of the stress associated with writing all the information needed and leaves you feeling more confident when you leave your child with someone who has very little knowledge of diabetes.

The credit card size is also great for Adult diabetics to carry important medical information about their diabetes in their wallets as a lot of diabetics do not wear medical alert information on their bodies. It is very important to have some Identification and treatment details with them encase of an emergency.

Hypo Stickers
I find these hypo sticker labels very useful when leaving my children with a carer. Place all the food needed for one hypo in a zip lock bag and place a label on the front of the bag. This reassures the carer of the steps to take when treating a hypo and helps them feel more confident that they are doing the right thing.
