I understand it needs to be less than 30 degrees.I have bought a frio wallet for out and about, for sunny days or the car.However if I am to take spare unopened insulin I believe this should this be kept at 2-8, so do I need to buy a special 2-8 degree travel bag or will a cool bag with ice pack be sufficient? I am an overthinker so then worry about airport delays for my summer holiday, and I am also camping for 4 days in the summer. What do people recommend to keep the unopened insulin cold?Also any recommendations for travel bags to keep all of the paraphernalia together? Also I bought some frio mini sharps containers but the needle/cap off my pen doesn't for through the hole. Anyone got a travel one with a bigger hole?I am an overplanner at the best of times but also easily overwhelmed so this is causing me some concern</blockquote>
