[QUOTE="Swillbos, post: 2110449, member: 395397"] Many thanks [USER=352098]@JMK1954[/USER] and [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] for both your replies. Given that the manufacturers say insulin can be kept safely unrefrigerated for 28 days, (and I assume this will be a conservative estimate), it makes sense it should be able to withstand bit of shuffling backwards and forwards between Frio and fridge. My travel plans don't involve really hot countries, just a lot of moving around. The first test will be cycling round Burgundian vineyards next week:) then we're away in Sept/Oct travelling round France and Spain without using air travel, so a lot of long bus and train journeys, hotel and apartment hopping. In Jan/Feb we have long-cherished plans to walk the Camino de Santiago, with further challenges of long-distance walking. I will definitely be brushing up my pharmacy lingo for those two trips! I retired a couple of months ago, and my plans did not factor in this sudden new insulin dependency. Your replies have given me confidence to just go for it, thank you! [/QUOTE]
