Is that a cool bag? I've copy and pasted a bit of info below regarding the hot weather and storage of insulin and testing kits. But I would always suggest you speak with the diabetes team that looks after your childs care
Insulin
"If your levels are consistently higher than expected, it is worth considering whether your insulin could have been damaged in the sun. Insulin, in this hot weather especially, is best kept in the fridge or a cool bag (taking care that it does not freeze).
"When damaged by heat, clear insulin generally becomes cloudy and cloudy insulin becomes grainy and sticks in the side of the glass. Insulin that has been exposed to bright sunlight sometimes has a brownish colour. Do not use insulin that shows these changes. Speak to your GP or healthcare professional if you are unsure.
Meters and test strips
"Extremes of temperature can also affect your blood glucose meter and test strips. Keep your meter and test strips as close to normal room temperature as possible and out of direct sunlight, but don’t refrigerate them as cold temperatures can also lead to misleading results."
