Hi Everyone,
I've seen these insulated travel cases with freezer packs (DISONCARE insulin pen cooler travel case) and was wondering whether anyone has any experience of them, specifically related to travel and airport security.
I can't post links but if you search for "insulin cooler travel case" on Amazon you should see them easily enough.
I regularly travel to Dubai for 4-5 weeks at a time and take insulin (Levemir and Lyumjev (previously Apidra)) with me. I currently use Frio wallets but thought something that's actually chilled might be a better idea.
The flight time is about 7 hours, plus any delays, plus up to a couple of hours in the airport each end, plus 45 minutes to an hour each end getting to and from the airport. So all in it's probably about 12 hours door to door.
Anyway, back to the DISONCARE - I'm wondering whether they would get through UK airport security supported by a doctors letter or prescription and insulin pen information sheets. Also happy to hear any other general thoughts on or experiences of this product.
Thanks
