Wouldn't it be cool if our diabetes stuff was packaged like these skincare products by somme institute, instead of the scary medical way they are now? Ok, maybe not exactly like this per ce, but at least designed in a way that felt like it was part of regular life rather than something outside of it. I know it wouldn't matter to some people, but it would to me. I think it would make me feel a bit better about having to use all the products I have to use to take care of myself. I think it might make me feel a bit prettier and maybe a little less chronically ill. I don't know that for sure, but I'm pretty certain it wouldn't hurt.
DEFINITELY - why do things have to be ugly?

Nope, definitely wouldn't hurt...

I agree. And recently I've been railing about the Glucagon packaging.
The product is difficult to use when needed. It could be packaged more like an Epipen - it's used in similar situations.
The packaging, label, everything about it feels like it's from the 1950s.
Eli Lilly are you listening?

Simple elegant packaging and accessories would appeal to kids too (without having to add Spongebob - diabetes isn't that fun)

Ya, that would be so great! but is it ever going to happen?
