Designer insulin pump bag range launched for children with diabetes

Feb. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- A brand new range of boutique style insulin pump bags has been launched by a mother of a child with type 1 diabetes. The fun, fashion forward bags with elastic snap lock belts, targeted at children with insulin pumps, are available online at www.funkypumpers.com

All of the bags are handmade from practical fabrics to ensure that they protect the pump and keep it close to the body, as well as provide optimum comfort. They come in designs ranging from 70s style disco dots, funky guitars, and trendy skulls, to furry leopard print, girly cupcakes and colourful Russian dolls.

Sabrina Dawe set up the family run online store because she couldn't find any UK-made pump bags for her three-year-old son Dylan which offered functionality, as well as attractive, child friendly designs. 鼎hildren with diabetes are exactly the same as other children in that they want to experience the freedom of leading active lives and want their everyday clothes and accessories to be bright and fun our range of bags really reflects this,she says.  

The bags are split into three categories for meeting different needs and occasions, namely Playtime for daily activities; Pretty featuring stunning designs for girls and boys with a clear panel for easy pump operation; and Pyjama for snuggling up softly at bedtime. They retail from ｣10.99 to ｣13.99, making them a fun, affordable option for parents, relatives and friends of children with diabetes.
