[QUOTE="Platinum, post: 468915, member: 91091"] I agree it is a waste but my DSN said better safe than sorry. I also take a pen with me ‘just in case’ in a Frio pouch to keep it cool. One point though, I only ever take an Apidra or Novo-Rapid fast acting insulin pen with me – My DSN pointed out that should the pump fail, Accu-Chek will have a replacement with me within 24 hours. If I was to start injecting a long acting insulin (Lantus), this would give major problems when I went back on the replacement pump. She said that I would have to accept reduced control for the 24 hour period and just use the fast acting insulin. [/QUOTE]
