Hi all, I'm newbie to the forum so forgive an breaches of etiquette.
Basically my query regards the safe storage of Insulin when travelling abroad.
I'm a Type 2 but my 19 year old son is Type 1 and has mooted discussions re doing a bit of backpacking around Europe, which is fantastic.
However, practicalities of travelling over the summer have caused me to wonder how he could ensure his Insulin supplies, required to cover him for the 8 weeks, could be stored at the recommended (refrigerated) temperatures?
Short of humping a portable fridge in his rucksack, we're stuck for ideas!
Does anyone know of protocols or equipment which would facilitate him doing the whole student summer experience without compromising his health?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
