"Hi Nita. I would like to thank you for the Diabetic bag that you sent me. I have used it now on a few occasions,especially on long flights where I have found it to be very helpful as I can carry everything all at the same time.I hope to be taking an overseas trip later this year and having everything in one place is great. Every chance I get I show other Diabetics the bag and the reaction I get is good. Again thank you very much."
-Customer, Brian W., Australia
"Anita, Happy New Year! Just want to let you know that I just LOVE my purse. I love the convenience of having all of my diabetic stuff together. I will be showing it to all of my diabetic friends and family. Hopefully I can get some orders for you that way. I just love this color.... Even my husband liked it and commented on the fact that I don't have to carry different pouches with my things. Have a great new year and I hope to do business with you again."
-Customer, Becky W., TX
"Just an FYI. I absolutely LOVE my Peacock purses. I first ordered the large one and then ordered one of the Minis. I wouldn't leave home without my Mini now! I could be a spokesperson/ sales person for these purses. Since I was at jury duty the past two weeks, I have given your website to two people! You've definitely simplified my life! Thank YOU!"
- Customer, Cheri R., IL
"Hello, Anita. Just received the Mini bags today. They are beautifully designed and my daughter was filled with excitement when she saw them. She was ready to fill them right away.
What a wonderful way to carry everything! I've lived with 3 bags on my shoulder for 6 years. and now this wonderful invention that was created by you makes it so much better. Thank you for making life with diabetes that much easier. Thanks again. Pamela and Morgan."

One Life. One Bag. One Place.
Peacock Products: Fine Diabetic Bags
Here's why my bags are the best diabetes bags for you:
As I said, I am a lifelong diabetic. LIFELONG DIABETIC. It doesn't matter if you have Type 1, Type 2 or gestational diabetes, I know what you need to tote to take care of yourself in most situations. I've been there.
This experience and the fact that I'm legally-blind also mean that I know how best to lay out your bag so that your supplies are stored in the most convenient way. (No, my bags ARE NOT just for visually-impaired diabetics! Please, read on.)
I know you get why the lifetime of experience adds to my design expertise; but, I'm not sure if you see (no pun intended) how my low vision makes me a better bag designer for ALL diabetics. It's not as crazy as it sounds; but, let me elaborate.
I lost most of my vision to diabetic complications about twenty years ago. it seemed sudden. (I didn't realize it had been building in the background for years.) It was brutal. It happened. And, that was that. There was no going back.
This redefined how I lived my life, the way I needed everything, my diabetes supplies included, organized. I learned that with my low vision, it was no good just to have a place to put things, there had to be an organize flow. There must be a purpose in the way things are arranged so that the layout of the things I use makes sense, is intuitive.
There were no meter bags or even regular so-called organizer bags whose layouts made sense at all. They were all just designed so that there were places to put things. No real thought behind the designs. No real-life usability. So, I decided to create my own, very purposeful, intuitive design. I say that so very casually. As if I made the decision and my bags hit the internet. Believe me, that's not the way it happened.
I went through a long and painstaking prototyping process. Figuring out what worked and what didn't. What was convenient and what wasn't. What was diabetic-friendly and what was utterly maddening. I'd get a sample bag made, tote it for a while and make adjustments to the design. (Lather, rinse, repeat.) It took years.
But, this process yielded a real "AHA" moment. I discovered that the more visually-friendly and intuitive I made the bag layout, the easier it was for me to live my life. And, the easier it would be for any diabetic, low vision or not, to live his or her life. No muss. No fuss.
NO PROBLEM with Peacock Products diabetic bags.
Each bag style has two easy-to-identify main compartments: a personal side and a diabetes side. Everything in the same bag; but, stored in two very different main sections, each with its own unique access. Flap-front personal side. Zip-around diabetes side.
Each main compartment has many colorblocked, well-spaced and well-placed pockets, sleeves and bands. Lots of bags claim to have a gazillion storage compartments; but, they place them right on top of each other, making them absolutely useless.
Not so with my Peacock Products diabetes bags. You can easily store and use ALL your things. And, no cramped compartments that won't let you close your bag once your stuff is inside.
Diabetes items that are used together (like blood glucose testing or injection supplies) are kept together. Use 'em together, store 'em together. And extra supplies are always nearby. (This "smart layout" is also true of your personal items, especially with the built-in wallet feature of the Peacock Mini.) The intuitive flow of pockets, bands and sleeves has been part of my designs from the beginning. I needed it to be a core part of the design. You'll love the convenience it gives you.
You don't have to be visually-impaired to see the benefit of a well-laid you and colorblocked bag. Need it, find it, use it and replace it. No fumbling with multiple bags or trying to find whatever you need in a bag that isn't clearly divided and well-defined. My bags just make common sense.
"I absolutely love my bag! As a ... diabetic and pump user with other unrelated conditions, I find it keeps everything organized and looks great, too! I've gotten many compliments on this bag. I am really rough on bags, too; all the other bags I've tried have fallen apart on me from the first day up to two weeks. Not these! The medical compartment makes it easy to check [blood glucose] discreetly. This bag kept my insulin cool even in Tucson, AZ and no one knew! Don't know what I would do without this bag!"
- Repeat customer, Tonya Y., WA
My combination "one life" bags are efficient, streamlined and sensible. They let you live your life with much less bother. That's all well and good. And if ultimate convenience and function are all you're looking for, my bags do that better than any others.
But, if you think that's all they are, an easy fix to a complex life, you're missing a major aspect. They are also unquestionably BEAUTIFUL accessories. (I don't call them "Fine Diabetic Bags" for nothing.)
We've seen the evolution of the "diabetic bag" over the last several years. But, really, most are just revamped meter bags. Higher-priced med packs that may (or may not) look a little nicer on the outside; but, not something you'd tote with pride.
I want to look good. I'm sure you do, too. And that certainly holds true for the bag I tote. I want a bag that not only works great but that looks great, too. I need the function; but, I crave the fashion. A bag that looks at home no matter where I go. And that most definitely cuts out a glorified meter bag. You can proudly strut your stuff with a Peacock Products diabetes bag!
Take a look at my bags and I'm sure you'll agree they're the best around and the perfect fit for you. Peacock Products are the ONLY bags I tote. Whichever style you choose, my bags let you seamlessly handle your life with unquestionable grace and impeccable style. No compromises.
You don't need to strap on multiple bags to take care of your one life. Peacock Products bags are the perfect choice to keep you and your diabetes on track so you can live your life the way you want to. Discreetly check your sugar, take meds, pop a glucose tab.... Do WHATEVER and go on with your life without skipping a beat.
Dressed up or dressed down. Home, work, play, travel. It's your life; so, live it. Grab your Peacock Purse or Peacock Mini and head out the door. We've got you covered.
One life. One bag. One Place.
Hi! I'm Anita Peacock, the owner/manager/designer here at Peacock Products: Fine Diabetic Bags. I am also a lifelong diabetic. My Peacock Products philosophy is simple. I want to offer gorgeous bags that let you take care of the total you, not just your diabetes.
Waaaay back in the "olden days" (about 10 years ago) you had to tote several bags to make sure every part of your life was covered. A diabetes supplies bag, a personal stuff bag, a school bag, a dressy bag, a wallet, a travel medication bag.... I don't know about you; but, I ran out of arms about four bags ago!
Lugging around more than one bag makes very little sense to me. But, I did just that multi-bag misery for years. I stuffed several smaller bags inside the largest handbag I could find. Or i toted a meter bag in addition to my personal stuff bag. One on my shoulder. One on my wrist or in my arms. Not convenient at all.
Juggling bags isn't fun. It's a skill I never mastered. Looking for the one bag you need righ now is a royal pain. and, somehow "the one" is always just out of reach. The more bags you tote, the more likely you are to leave one behind. You can't check your sugar or take your medication if you're out and you left that bag home on the kitchen counter.
The same holds true for your wallet, cell phone, keys, glasses and any other personal stuff you just can't live without. Forget slipping those into your meter bag. There's just no room. There's barely room for your diabetes supplies.
You have to live your whole life, with all it's facets. I want to help you do that. Not just live it; but, live it well and with great style.
The design you need. The look you love.
