Insulated kit for travel with diabetic supplies (has elastic to hold syringes, pocket for wipes, place for insulin bottles, and a small ice pack you store in freezer when not in use, as well as heavy insulation-- found it at Price Less Drug Store and other places


Really nice high quality socks to protect feet of a diabetic, look for no seams even in toes area to chafe feet of diabetic


nice creams for rubbing on feet with verse about caring for feet.


mirror for inspecting parts of feet that are harder to see as we get older and less flexible


nice box of Whitmans Sampler sugar free chocolate creams, yummy even to me a person who usually dislikes the flavor aftertaste of sugar substitute


Sugar free things: breath mints, herbal tea, sugar free cookbook or recipe cards


Subscription to a good magazine like Diabetic Self Care


Exercise is usually recommended, along with weight loss where necessary, so perhaps a pair of jogging shoes, a pedometer, or a gift certificate for a consult with a sports coach or nutritionist to encourage new habits
