I was recently diagnosed, so I don't really have an organizational horror story yet... but I did come to work the other day without my insulin pen, which resulted in a long drive home and back to work. Maybe if it was in a cuter carry case, I wouldn't forget as easily :)

What you can win: Organizational goodness: one Mini Zipper Pouch (color is Taupe Wave), one Your Way Rectangle (color is Black Cross Pop) and a $25 gift certificate code good towards an online purchase - all for one lucky winner! Both products have a blue circle, as a nod to diabetes awareness.
Made possible by: Melissa Thorpe, independent consultant with Thirty-One Gifts.
Why you want this: Standard diabetes accessories can be boring (hello black meter cases!) and these products allow for personalized and fun storage solutions! The Mini Zipper Pouch is perfect for holding a meter, test trips, and lancet device, with extra room for glucose tabs, a few syringes, or a small village of DNA-laden used test strips. Additionally, the Your Way Rectangle can be used to keep all of your supplies organized.
If you'd like some of your own personalized, fun storage solutions (not just for diabetes!) you can order your own through Melissa's website www.mythirtyone.com/melissat031. Go to "My Parties" and click "Shop Now" next to #GiveAllTheThings. Proceeds from orders placed by the end of the day Sunday, December 8th (to ensure delivery before Christmas) will be donated to JDRF.
To enter today's contest: Use the Rafflecopter widget below to join this contest! You can be entered to win up to three times - two for a blog comment left on this post (required), and one for a Facebook Like for Melissa's Thirty-One Gifts page.
In your comment, tell me a diabetes organizational horror story. For example: I tend to stuff everything amongst a few drawers in our entertainment center, and a couple of weeks ago I found a tube of expired test strips from 2008.
Rules: This contest ends tonight at midnight CST, and is open only to U.S. addresses. #GiveAllTheThings contests are intended for people with diabetes (or their caregivers) only. Since the Rafflecopter widget requires you to share an email address, I'll be emailing the winner (as well as announcing them through an update on this post) Friday morning - you'll need to respond to me by Sunday evening (let's say 7:00 pm CST) with your shipping address in order to claim your prize. If I don't hear from you, I'll pick a new winner.
