Living with diabetes can feel like a lot, and cleaning out our purse is definitely NOT at the top of the list.

Between the loose glucose tabs, mystery test strips, emergency snacks that have seen better days, and approximately 47 lip balms... it's basically a diabetes survival kit with a side of chaos. And somehow, the ONE thing we actually need is always at the very bottom. Now we're curious... what's the most random thing currently living in your purse? Bonus points if you have absolutely no idea how it got there. #DiabetesSisters #DiabetesHumor #LifeWithDiabetes
