Ganesha Gear was founded in 2018 with a simple purpose: to solve the everyday challenge of carrying diabetes supplies in a way that fits an active life. While travelling through Bali and South East Asia, we realised there wasn’t a convenient, organised, and comfortable solution - so we built one. 

Our flagship product, the Bag of Life, is a compact diabetic essentials bag designed to hold insulin, testing kits, hypo treatment, ID and more — all in one place. (Link to Bag of Life)

Grant has lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 30 years and knows firsthand the frustration of keeping supplies organised on the go. 

His experience managing diabetes through fitness, travel, and daily life inspired the design of a bag that’s practical, durable, and genuinely useful. 

He also works in digital health innovation, developing technology to help people make smarter decisions about their care.

We design with purpose and empathy:

• Practicality first - solutions that actually work day-to-day.

• Active lifestyles supported - Made for gym, travel, outdoor life, and work.

• Community empowerment - Helping people feel confident in managing diabetes.

Our Mission

Create a global community of people using Bag of Life to live life on their terms — confidently, actively, and empowered.

Most diabetic bags are either too big, too bulky, or not designed with real-world use in mind. 

The Bag of Life was created to change that - to make storage simple, organised and easy to access.
