Fashion Forward Cases for Diabetic Supplies Now Available at Diabetic Care Services and Diabetic Express

CLEVELAND – March 5, 2009 – Diabetic Care Services and Diabetic Express, leading mail order companies that provide diabetic supplies and prescriptions, are bringing fashion to the masses. Dittibags – chic and expressive diabetic supply cases – offer diabetics an alternative to traditional utilitarian organizers they are embarrassed to show in public.

"Dittibags allow us to offer our customers stylish, signature diabetic cases they can carry with confidence," said Marc Wolf, CEO of Care Services. "Anything we can do to encourage diabetes patients to embrace healthier lifestyles and better lives, even if it is as simple as introducing a line of fashionable supply cases, is very important to our mission."

Dittibags supply cases are designed and created by a type 1 diabetic who knows first-hand the challenges diabetics face. The signature product line includes four stylish yet functional options: The Sarah Spunda, The Candy Striper, The Ali-Oop and The Skinny Case. All cases feature an ID card holder, a complimentary ID card and a motivational quote.
