| |  Insulin storage...advice!
Hey all,
I'm searching for a way to carry 2 bottles of insulin that would offer a bit of thermal protection but is also very small. What kind of products are out there for this. Not looking for something that can auto refrigerate...just some thermal protection. All suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

| | | Dollar Stores carry small thermal bags. Miniature, coolers.
That's what I use when the weather is hot and I'm going to be outside very long. I keep two freezable containers in the freezer at home and when I'm goning to be outside I just toss one of thos in the little carry bag........and off I go.

| | | There are various products on the market specifically designed to carry insuline and diabetes supplies. One brand is Medicool. I've seen others in pharmacies, but can't recall any names.
Personally, I'm with rzr. I use a small, inexpensive soft side cooler bag. One of the bags designed to carry baby bottles works pretty well. I try to use what I have or what is inexpensive in the event I lose or damage it.

| | | I just use the soft sided lunch bag. I pop a blue ice in and the insulin and then any cold snacks I want to eat. I usually make up the syringes put in a toothbrush holder and then I don't have to spend any time messing with filling them while I'm out. If I stay in a motel I get one with a fridge in the room. The grandkids love the snacks. |
