This gift basket will put a smile on their face for sure!
Of course, this time of the year you can make your own Christmas gift baskets for diabetics. You can even make gourmet gift baskets for diabetics: just imagine their smile when they get a gift that this much thought went into!

Fashionable diabetic supplies bag
Those with diabetes need to have their supplies with them 24/7. With this stylish bag, carrying diabetic supplies is a lot easier than with a large unattractive bag. This carrying case is made with all necessary compartments and it comes in a few gorgeous colors as well.
I understand all too well about getting the right kind of socks! My husband is a diabetic and one day his aunt brought these different kind that were very similar to the ones shown here-the typical “tube” sock is just not as helpful for those circulation issues.
