In these days of Red Emergency high temperatures it seems very relevant to ask about keeping a T-Slim cool.
As we are all aware from reading the patient information sheet….. insulin does need to be kept below 30C, not easy if the external temperature is approaching 40 C as we have all been warned.
I have just ordered the Frito XL Pouch, of which there are many positive comments, as well as a few negative ones, but is this the best solution ?

40C is not a temperature that I have experienced often before, but with climate change, who knows ? I am aware that in hot weather the activity of the insulin seems to be reduced, or is it that I am less active ?
I have been an IDD since June 1962 - originally at King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, Camberwell, but now live in rural France after retiring.
