Managing Type 1 Diabetes in toddlers is no small feat. Over the years, we’ve navigated through a variety of bags to find the perfect fit for our little one. While we as the parent always keep a main emergency bag stocked with all of the necessary supplies, there are times when our toddler needs to carry his phone for Dexcom readings and a bit of emergency sugar with him.
After testing several options, we’ve found some fantastic bags that are both functional and toddler-friendly. While these bags aren’t specifically designed for diabetes management, they meet our needs for carrying essential items conveniently and comfortably. Here’s a roundup of our current inventory.
