{It’s been 5 months in the making but…}

After all my blabbing and the “I’m so excited” hoopla I’ve been going on and on about and draining your ears and eyes with, our diabetes messenger bags and D-Mates are finally here in all their complete glory.

Yes folks the last component to our Switch Me Messenger bag the D-mate clutch arrived today and it couldn’t have come at a better time.  And I can personally attest to all the painstaking work our contractors were busily doing, at times working into the wee crack of dawn hours to help us get these babes out to you guys.

I’m so greatful for all that they have done for us, and that I can now share what we’ve been working on for so long with you.  A stylish, modern and of course functional bag that can totally change the way it looks just by ‘switching out’ the designer flaps.

D-Mate clutchAnd because it is anyway, a messenger bag for pwd, the D-Mate Clutch is what will set our messengers apart from other diabetes bags. Not to mention that once you buy your Switch Me Messenger, you’re D-Mate clutch is included and all you have to do then is grab some flaps.  Which I will tell you now that while there is only 4 available currently, we have over 21 designs lined up to be trickled out — gotta keep you thirsty for more and coming back!

What we’ve set out to accomplish when designing this messenger was to create a diabetes bag that could:

1) We wanted our messenger bag to be useeful to many different people thriving, living and loving somone with with diabetes. Like parents of little diabetics, busy errand runners, daily commuters, corporate motivators, and/or anyone who wants a bit of modern style with their diabetes messenger bag.

2) A bag that could be used by both men and women with the right designer features and elements. Hence the idea to switch the flap to allow a masculine look or a feminine look.

3) And lastly (but not really) a way to stretch your budget a bit so that you can keep your bag fresh and full of life without scouring for a costly bag every time you get a crazy whim to do so.  One that will satisfy all of your needs to keep your supplies organized and always close at hand, but look good while doing so.  It also needed to be easily luggable(is that a word?) when completely full but not look like you’re carrying the kitchen sink, when in reality you just might be.

We think we’ve accomplished these very important points that people with diabetes have expressed to us over the past year and a few more we can’t think of now, but are sure you’ll let us know once you get one for yourself.

So enough with the gibber jabber. Go look for yourself!

{One ‘green’ step forward}

Friday, February 6th, 2009

With so many creative ways to go green we figured we would try to
incorporate some of those ways into our company mission.  
The first step isn’t a huge one but it is a step in the green direction.  
We will be retiring our cellophane wrapping of our cases, to wrapping
them in gorgeous re-claimed paper ribbons!  We loved the look so
much that we thought we’d share the first round of cases being
shipped out this week to some lucky customers.  So each case is
still ready to give as a gift or ready to keep for yourself, just in a
greener kinda way.

{Oh Look..You can be stylish AND carry your diabetes supplies around}

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Who knew that people with diabetes still want to express their personality and still be stylish.  I mean it’s rubbish to think that just because you have diabetes, that you suddenly want to give up your sense of style or who you were before right? OF COURSE IT IS! So why settle for a boring black nylon bag when you can have fresh, colorful and functional all in one fabulous case, designed exclusively for people with diabetes.

The wait is over and 2 of our 5 new Deluxe carrying  cases are now available at our shop.  Pink Olive & Sarengetti.  Both bold and fun and of course functional.  Our cases can hold most meters on the market not to mention your finger pricker, test strips and our exclusive Bio Flips that allow you to keep those pesky test strips contained while on the go.

We’ve got lots of fabulous plans for this upcoming year, why don’t you hop on over to Twitter and follow us or join our Sentinel so you’ll definitely know everything. (well not everything but all the good stuff anyway)
