Diabetes Awareness Month: Adaptive Products for T1D

Posted by Spoonie Threads Staff on

November is Diabetes Awareness Month—a time to recognize the challenges of living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) while highlighting the tools and innovations that make daily management easier. At Spoonie Threads, we understand how much thought and effort goes into staying on top of your blood sugar, insulin, and devices. That’s why we’ve designed adaptive products to help make life with T1D a little more manageable, without compromising on style or comfort.

Gear That Supports Your Day-to-Day

Living with T1D often means wearing multiple devices, carrying supplies, and being prepared for anything. Spoonie Threads has reimagined clothing and accessories to address these needs with thoughtful design features:

1. Double Pocket Belt
The Spoonie Threads Double Pocket Belt is a game-changer for anyone using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), insulin pump, or other medical devices. This sleek and adjustable belt features two pockets: one for secure device storage and another for easy access to snacks, meters, or emergency supplies. With its lightweight and discreet design, you can wear it comfortably under or over your clothes—perfect for active days or peaceful nights.

2. Support Sleeves
Say goodbye to the constant worry of dislodging your CGM sensor or infusion set. Our Support Sleeves are soft, sweat-wicking bands designed to keep medical devices in place on your arms or legs. Whether you're at school, at work, or hitting the gym, these sleeves provide peace of mind without sacrificing comfort. They’re also a great fit for kids and teens who need added security for their devices during playtime or sports.

 

 

3. Adaptive Hoodies and Pullovers
Diabetes management doesn’t stop when temperatures drop, and neither do we. Our Zip Access Hoodies and pullovers combine warmth with convenience. The Spoonie Signature Pocket—a hidden gem in these designs—offers abdominal access for insulin pumps or other tubing devices. With additional features like zippers for easy dressing and accessible storage for your essentials, these hoodies make managing T1D a little simpler while keeping you cozy and stylish.

 

 

Designed for Real Life

Every Spoonie Threads product is crafted with real life in mind—whether it’s keeping medical devices secure, providing quick access for adjustments, or offering discreet storage for supplies. We know your health routine is uniquely yours, and our adaptive designs are here to support you through it all.

As we celebrate Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re proud to offer functional, stylish, and life-enhancing apparel for the T1D community. Explore our adaptive solutions and find the products that work as hard as you do.
