this is the first time going abroad since my son was diagnosed, I need some advice on keeping the insulin he is using below room temperature? It's 34 degrees where we are going, I have bought a frio wallet to use when we are out and about, can we use it 24/7, or is there anything else we should do? Thanks!

hi Samsara1
i have used the frio for many years in Italy in august with temps around 35.
it keeps the insulin cool -- not as cold as fridge temp but certainly safe for a holiday.
the wallet can be re-dipped in the sink after a week to keep it fully wet to keep the insulin cool.

put all the insulin in a frio
Thanks so much for your help, looks like it's getting hotter everywhere, heatwave forecast in the UK too! Going abroad will be a good practice for my 18 year old before his trip in August on a lads holiday, so much to worry about!
