In retail it’s tough to appeal to all of your customers, and some say you’ll go bankrupt if you try. Well since I launched Stick Me Designs, it’s been a goal to at least ‘try’ to accommodate many tastes and preferences.  This is why I’m always launching new diabetes bags, and new collections that might appeal to many likes. From over the top with colors, to busy prints, to colors that appeal to a younger crowd.  If you don’t like what you see this season stick around cause my diabetes bags will change…and you never know you may fall head over heels in love with the next collection.

So here are 2 new designs that I’m considering launching.  Comments feedback and questions are most welcome.

So here’s the skinny:

1) I want to giveaway 2 Deluxe Bags from the Grown & Sexy collection!

Would you like one?

This one is pretty simple:

—-> Leave me a comment as to why you’d like a new bag…and what is your favorite design.

That’s it! Extra points if you post on Facebook too on the Fan page!

Finally after several weeks of waiting, our newest deluxe diabetes bags have made it and they’re here. The Grown&Classy bags have arrived, and look fantastic. I was so impressed with the final design, and the insulated pocket feature is sure to be a hit for those who carry insulin during the day and need to keep it cool.

The newest deluxe bags also come with a very neat Stick Me Cool pack. A small square that fits neatly inside the insulated pocket and once wet and frozen will stay cool for hours, and it features a side that stays 15 degrees warmer just in case it’s too cold on the other side.

Oh and one more thing, if you purchase your new deluxe bag or anything accessory listed on my Facebook shop, you’ll get a 15% discount!

Thanks for reading and for stopping by*

So it’s no secret that women aren’t the only ones who live everyday with diabetes. Yup it’s true, guys also live and thrive with diabetes too. Up until now, they’ve been  left  to fend for themselves while stuffing their supplies in their pockets, or worse subjecting themselves to the…Fanny. Pack!  Yikes…let’s put an abrubt end to that shall we?

I regularly listen out for what my customers want and what they truly need from their diabetes gear. And I’ve tried my hand at guys stuff in the past, but honestly missed the mark a bit, but while parusing a Mr. Scott’s blog earlier last week, I soon realized that I had to, take another crack at it.  Breaking it down to terms that I finally got ( I hope anyway) I think I might have finally made contact on that elusive ‘nail’.  So with that, I’ll ask for feedback, comments and just what you think…eh hem…Guys that especially means you!

And Gals if you’re diggin the new Dude collection chime in as well, cause I know some of your male counterparts, have been buggin’ you for a cool diabetes gear bag…and now here ya go! Check out all the newest styles!

While still in the FDA approving phase some testers of the POGO system are raving about it. What are your thoughts on it, looks pretty convenient so  far but what do you think?

I think my customers are simply fabulous! It is their encouraging words, their incredible strength that makes all the struggle, and enormous amount of time I put into my business so worth it. So I thought it would be nice for a change to share some of my most recent feedback with all of the visitors who make their way here.

There may even be a picture or two…Enjoy and if you have any feedback, comments or ‘hello’s’ go ahead and comment

Now on with the Good Stuff!

****** I got {my bag} in last week and LOVE it.  It fits in my purse for normal day-to-day but came in super handy on Saturday.  I had to travel to NYC for a concert and didn’t want to have my big, bulky bag with me.  I was able to carry all my testing supplies, some glucose tablets,… and my ID and cash!  It was perfect.  Thanks so much for a product that’s sure to stay handy in my life.  I’ll be posting about it on my own blog very soon - www.singlewhitediabetic.com ******* ~Rebecca  {Thank you for your feedback Rebecca}

******I am 32 and just found out last Thanksgiving that I have type 1 Diabetes!  It was such a shock, and when I started to look around for cases and bags to carry my supplies in, I found boring bag after boring bag.  I Googled “stylish diabetic bags” and I came across your site.  I am so glad that I did!  It was refreshing to see that I wasn’t the only one that thought there just had to be something more lively, fun and functional all at the same time!  I am going on my first long trip away from home and have to carry more supplies than normal, and the jet setter couldn’t look to be more perfect   Thank you for creating things that are sure to make people smile while dealing with something so tough everyday! Warmest regards,  Ambyr Freeman*******  {Thank you Ambyr for your awesome feedback}

*****I found you when I was googling cases for diabetes. Love what you came up with and wanted something different than the ugly black cases. Karyn  ***** {Thank you Karyn for your comments}

*****Thanks. My doctor actually referred you, here in Boston MA. I was diagnosed with Type 1.5 diabetes or LADA – and so I don’t need a ton of the room for the stuff that people with type 1 need. She told me your carrying cases would be perfect!  Turns out she was right.  Best, Rachael****** {Fabulous Rachael, You & Your Endo are the Bestest}

*****I just love your products!  I don’t know if you are open to suggestions or not, but if you can get one for a demo, you might want to try photographing some of your larger cases with insulin pens. I found your site when looking for cases that would fit my pens.  I  use the Novalog ones from Nova Nordisk. I think they are the largest of the various prefilled pens. I was only able to find one other product besides yours that was long enough, and it is horribly medical-looking. Your products would have real appeal to others in my situation.  Thanks again. I am very excited and can’t wait to get my order. I have a number of diabetic friends, and can’t wait to show them your unique cases.  Kimberly****** { Great suggestions Kimberly..Great feedback thanks}

*****Rickina,
