"Small Change Big Difference - Calling diabetics: a key ring called Gluco-Carry, designed by diabetic Scott Saunders, 28, takes a vital supply of four glucose tablets."
The Sun - Health Pages
"Diabetic Scott Saunders's bad memory was putting his life at risk. The 28-year-old says: "I was always forgetting to carry glucose to head off a hypo". So Scott, of Bromley, Kent, invented a simple case that carries four glucose tablets. It clips on to a key-ring or can be worn around the neck."
Running Fitness Magazine
"Glucose container brings new energy to sport - Scott Saunders, a 28 year old diabetic from Bromley, Kent, has invented a customised carrying device to enable sports enthusiasts to carry a supply of glucose tablets when active. A readily available source of carbohydrate during exercise, such as glucose tablets, can be beneficial to top up blood glucose levels and delay fatigue."
Balance Magazine - Diabetes UK
"Balance Reader Scott Saunders has invented the Gluco-Carry - it holds four glucose tablets and doubles as a key ring, helping to ensure you never leave the house without some glucose to treat a hypo. It also comes with a neck cord for easy access while being active."
Diabetes Wellness News - Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation
"Many diabetics forget to carry glucose for treating hypoglycaemia, or choose not to do so because it is often inconvenient to carry around in the form of a can of drink or a whole packet of glucose tablets or sweets, hence where the Gluco-Carry comes in to its own."
Diabetes Journal (Germany)
(Translated from German) "Scott Saunders had a smart idea: Often he didn't have any glucose tablets with him when he had a hypo. However, he realised that he always took his keys with him whenever he left the house. He had seen other smaller pill boxes but they were too small for his needs. So, what could be better than a "Gluco-Box" designed for carrying glucose tablets on your keys?"
Diabetes (Norway)
(Translated from Norwegian) "Gluco-Carry is a potentially life-saving container, which you can attach to your keychain. The container has room for four glucose tablets, which you can keep close at hand in case your blood sugar becomes too low."
Kent Messenger
"A young diabetes sufferer is hoping his invention will help people with the disease. The containers can be attached to a set of keys or worn around the neck to ensure people with diabetes always have a dose of up to four glucose tablets to hand if their blood sugar levels suddenly drop."
