Type Y
'Type Y' focuses on young adults with diabetes. These geometric inspired pendant vials hold emergency glucose lollies, in the event of a diabetic glucose low. The pendants also act as diabetic medical identification tags in the event of an emergency. The pendants are packaged within a diabetic kit, consisting of a mould to make lollies to fit within the pendants and a users guide, which includes recipes, management strategies and techniques. Everything within the Type Y diabetic kit is designed to help young adults with diabetes learn how to self manage and monitor their condition.
