Hia - just wandered if anyone else had one and what they thought of it and if's ok to use ?

I envisaged that the the casing next to the pump would be thicker and sealed (with obviously a gap for tubing) but all it is is a nylon little sack which doesn't fasten close. This then sits inside the normal frio cooling sack and then the outer case. I'm a bit sceptical as to whether or not this protects the pump from moisture but if users say it does then I'll have more confidence in the product. I've used frios for my injection pens and inuslin before and they're grand but I am a bit let down by the flimsy look of this one - maybe it's me :roll:

I don't want my pump to mal function on my first oversees trip !
 
Where are you going?
I have no problems with heat and pump here SW France. We quite often have temps above 30 in the summer.
I do quite a bit of hillwalking in the massif central and Pyrenees To be honest we tend to avoid long mulitiday hillwalks in the hottest months but we still go for shorter walks. I keep my insulin in a frio on backpacking trips and change the reservoir every 3 days.
 
Hia Phoenix - thanks for reply. We're off to Symi, a super little Greek island. I don't stay in the sun much - a lot of reading under the sun shade for me. We walk a bit but it's normall not at the hottest point of the day and I try and stray into the shade. Whats worrying me is that the pump will get damaged through moisture from the frio?
 
Hi,
what I meant is I don't use a frio for the pump; only for the insulin vials when away from home.
 
Ah I see - well I'll try that approach I think. I will soon see from my BS readings if the inuslin is getting affected by the heat. Thanks
