Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Ive searched various sites to find decent travelling wallets for when you need injections away from home.
As you are aware that it needs to be kept cool,but have not found much in the uk that wasn't vastly overpriced or really was bulky.
Im dreading this summer,but haven't a clue where else to look for cool cases that are affordable in uk.
Any links would be trully appreciated.

I have found that I do not need any special container othe than a plastic zip lock bag.
Firs off, unless it is very warm, insulin will keep for 29 days wihtout being refrigerated.
Normally hotels have small fridges so you can stick it in there to keep it chilled.
During actual travel if weather is warm, I put one of those artifical ice blocks in a plastic bag and that seems to work. On long trips like to US I give it to crew to put on ice. Never give it to them though unless it is in a container, such as zip lock bag.
If you use the kind of insulin that you have to draw out of a container than mabye you need constant colling. I use Apidar and Livamir pens; if I am gone more than 29 days I throw them away.
Hope this helps. Paul
