I have an insulin pen used once s day. How to keep it cool in the heat in temps of 30s degrees in SE. uk . I have FRIO wallet ends is that enough ?

@DumfriesDik I've been toying with the idea of CMG . My own GP says I don't qualify . Im needing to take readings 7 times a day. That's hard on the fingers, Occasionally I get a hypo so that 2-3 extra readings to be sure the hypo is cured. Im about to research the CMG that can be used...

@MrsA2 I like the sound of these . Ill explore M&S express nearby. If they have any of these they would be good for a change and for snacks. The bread from the bakers has no nutritional advice so a crispbread for 4 carbs would be useful. Thank U Mrs A
