TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

Whenever I get a new glucagon kit from the pharmacy, it comes in a cardboard box. My first kit (12 years ago) came in a handy white plastic case. I've seen newer (red) ones in pictures, but I've never been given one with my prescription. The plastic case I have is getting a little worse for the wear, so I'd like a replacement. Does anyone know how to get one? Does the doctor specify on the Rx that the glucagon kit should include a carrying case?

Some pictures of what I am talking about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon_rescue

I was reminded last night at a Medtronic pumpers event , to order a carrying case ..I called 1-800-268-4446 , Toronto, ON , Eli Lilly this morning and asked for 2 and will receive 2 in the mail next week ...we all agree , that the case should be av. at our pharmacy and I will mention this to the Staff as a sugestion . I''ll post here, when the cases arrive !

Is Lilly just sending the cases (not including a glucagon kit)?

Please post a picture when they arrive. I hope they're the nice red ones.
