KIT

WIPED CLEAN

If you want to be sure that you have clean fingers for a blood

test, then look no further than DiaWipes. Available in handy little

packets, these do the necessary job of keeping your fingers clean

so as not to get a false test result when the chance to handwash is

unavailable. The packs are small (10.5cm x 6.5cm) and each wipe

is 7cm x 4.5cm, enough to give any one's soon-to-be-lanced digits

and jolly good wipe. One pack of DiaWipes is £1.25, five packs is

£5.75 and a box of 50 packs is £45. Also available on prescription

from Funky Pumpers (where they remain a best seller).

CRUSHING IT

Perfect for cutting large or small pills, this neat little pill cutter adds a bit of class to the

job. Made by Pill Mill, it's easy to use having professional metal blades that will never

dull with a specially designed grip-handle so it ought not be too fiddly. Will cut large or

small pills. Also from the same company is a pill crusher for those ewho have problems

swallowing pills whole and pill bags to carry your crushed pills in.
