About Us Sugar Medical

About Us

We want to create products that will inspire you to carry your daily supplies without hesitation. Our vision is to bring style and quality into the lives of people living with diabetes and simplify daily management routines.

Designing Since 2009

At age 13, Founder, Carolyn Jäger, identified a need for something more attractive than “the black medical bag” that comes with every glucometer. In 2009, after years with no other options in the marketplace, Carolyn started designing cases from her basement with her two sons underfoot. A year later, she launched Sugar Medical and introduced her first supply case in 5 colors!

Our Mission

To encourage people to stay healthy, motivated and in control of diabetes. Better management leads to better health outcomes for each customer.

Giving Back

Sugar Medical gives back to the diabetes community by donating yearly to the JDRF, Beyond Type 1, and The Diabetes Link. We also participate in walks and benefits hosted by the JDRF and ADA and have donated 5000 bags to the JDRF’s Bag of Hope. In 2022 we launched an annual program that donates $1.5K to four diabetes camps for kids across the country. And in our local community here in Midlothian, VA, we donate to Chesterfield County Food Bank and local High School sports programs.

Partnerships

We are honored to be working in partnership with other brands that simplify life with diabetes! Since 2013 we have worked with Insulet Corporation, designing cases and accessories exclusively for the Omnipod® Insulin Management System. In 2020, we partnered with Tandem Diabetes Care to develop cases for the t:slim insulin pump. In 2021, we began collaborating with SPIbelt® and Pump Peelz to offer special designs solely for Sugar Medical. As we grow, we look forward to building relationships with companies in the diabetes community that have developed unique products for those living with diabetes and support a healthy lifestyle.

About Carolyn

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at age 13, but I had been living in a household with T1D since I was eight, when a family member was diagnosed. I was familiar with the glucose monitors, needles, and tears, which only made the news of my diagnosis more devastating. I knew enough to be scared and upset that I too would now have to give myself shots for the rest of my life.  Read more.
