Holiday help please

I went to Egypt last September so very hot.
I bought a frio pouch for travelling with the insulin. I then kept it in the fridge in my room. If we were spending time by the pool etc. . I just went up to the room to inject, therefore I did not need to worry about it getting hot. I did take it out on excursions but put it back into the frio pouch.
I also took extra insulin so if it was spoilt I had spare.
Can't you get an extra sharps bin thingy on prescription?
I did struggle with the heat and was unwell for a couple of days. Not sure if it was heat or food/drinks so do be careful.x

Great advice from @lisacp.

You can buy the travel sharp bins (0.2L)for around £2 - £3 which should do the job.

The Frio pouch is good. You soak it in water and the crystals expand. The insulin has to be cold before you put it in. The pouch keeps cold things cold but will not cool down warm things. (Does that make sense? ) You can get them on Amazon.x

@lisa00769, be sure to take along a copy of your repeat prescription just in case you need any diabetes related supplies over there, also be sure to split your supplies between yourself and a travelling partner in case one bag goes missing, that way you'll have enough to tide you over until you get more from a pharmacy.

Also, although very few people ever get asked to show one its a good idea to get a letter from your diabetes team to say that you have type 1 diabetes and need to carry things like needles and lancets, some gp surgeries charge but if you ask your hospital team they will provide a letter for nothing. Enjoy your holiday.
