Message: <blockquote data-quote="SimonP78" data-source="post: 2759164" data-attributes="member: 556474">I've never had problems using ice, though if I was going to need the insulin to work for a long time (e.g. when popping home to restock when away on foreign placements for many months, or going to Australia for 3 months, etc.) I did ensure I used lots of ice - imo, as long as there's a reasonable barrier between the insulin and the ice it won't freeze - the losses from the bag are too high (I used to use a piece of cardboard wrapped around the insulin, plus the unused insulin was in its box).If I were you (and indeed if I needed to do it again myself) I'd buy a mini ice bag (or in my case dig my existing one out) and stick a thermometer in it with a similar setup to that described above and see what result you get over the course of 24h or so.Let us know what you find <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
