Keeps all my diabetes "stuff" together

I just wanted to provide some feedback to you about the StarterKYT. It is amazing and has really helped me keep all my diabetes “stuff” altogether in a very attractive package. The folding and unfolding mechanism is brilliant as are the magnets to close the ends. I love it. Thanks for designing it.

Just perfect!

StarterKYT arrived. Love it!!! So well made. It is amazing quality and well designed. My T1D 20 year old uses it daily. He initially thought he would only use it at weekends but it's so useful and durable on the Jobsite.

Perfect size and quality

Perfect size for all my equipment yet small enough so i can take it with me without any hassle. Quality is amazing and feels really well made. I like that it folds out so i have my own little portable testing station whenever im out and i can easily do it discreetly. Feels quite sturdy too and i don't have to worry so much about breaking insulin vials or pens. Big lifesaver!

Magnificent new bag

I just received my new StarterKYT. I cannot believe how compact it is yet everything I need slots in like magic. It really suits my need for a compact and discreet way to carry my things, with no bulk and no fuss. Fantastic!
