The Roll-Up Kitbag »

Price: £34.99 (leather), £17.99 (microfibre) plus p&p

Our biggest kitbag yet! You can pack in plenty of supplies, for daily use or for longer trips and vacations. Great for pump users.

While researching what kinds of kitbags will suit people with diabetes (PWDs), we found that some PWDs use more than two insulins, or prefer syringes to insulin pens, or have injections as well as pills or are on an insulin pump, with the various bits of equipment that entails. It means that some of us have to carry around even more equipment.

In order to address this, we’ve had this kitbag designed. The Roll-up fits all the following, and keeps it safe and dry.

Pump users — take a look at the ‘flash’ imagery below which shows a kitbag filling up with kit). The Roll-up fits several infusion sets (approx. 6), an inserters, spare battery and reservoirs (approx 4).

The ROLL-UP model fits:

  • Blood test machine
  • Finger pricker
  • Spare sensors
  • Two insulin injection pens (can be carried in a Frio bag within the Roll-up kitbag)
  • Spare pen needles
  • Spare pen refills (insulin cartridges)
  • Blood test diary and pen

  • In addition, it can also carry syringes and insulin bottles
  • Tissues, cotton wool
  • A Hypo treatment (such as a tube of sweets)

    Roll-Up (open)

    i’m a bit confused, the photo halfway up the page doesn’t look like it’s “rollup”…is that just the wrong photo by mistake? i’m after something that will roll up to a cylinder shape and just shove down the side of a backpack! thanks

    Hi Clare, basically the there are three parts to the Roll-up, two of them roll-up over the third part. I suppose we could have called it the Fold-up but it seemed like a Roll-up to us when we came up with the design. It does not roll up into a cylinder, I’m sorry to say. Sue
